Prediction: 1-1
Dusseldorf
After suffering three consecutive defeats, Ulm will look to give fans some cheer when they face Fortuna Dusseldorf on Sunday afternoon. Ulm failed to upset star-studded Bayern Munich in the DFB Pokal last 64, while losing to both Kaiserslautern and Regensburg in 2. Bundesliga and, no doubt, they are eager to grab something from the round 3 clash. Midfielder Laurin Ulrich should miss out through illness, while goalkeeper Niclas Thiede remains in the recovery room.
Die Fortunen, on the other hand, have been impressive at the back at the start of the season. As the visitors are likely to rely on their rock-solid defence against Ulm, we believe that there is a big value in betting on under 2.5 goals. Both Jamil Siebert and Vincent Vermeij are out of contention with injuries, speaking of the visiting team, while talented forward Dzenan Pejcinovic made his return from injury in the DFB Pokal loss to Dynamo Dresden at the weekend.
Highlighted Team (Dusseldorf):
Founded on May 5, 1985, Fortuna Dusseldorf are a German side that compete in Bundesliga . The Fingeraner welcome their rivals at their Espirit Arena, the venue that was opened in 2004. The capacity of the stadium is 54,600, but the venue did not host 2016 FIFA World Cup games.
Fortuna Dusseldorf play home games in red shirts and red shorts, with the team wearing white shirts with red stripes and white shorts on the travels. The club did well to win the Western German championship in 1931 and two years later they lifted the trophy in the German championship, which is considered their biggest success.
