Prediction: 3-1
Kaiserslautern
Buoyed by a hard-fought 3-0 win over Regensburg, Fortuna Dusseldorf will look to retain top position when they face Kaiserslautern on Saturday evening. The league leaders have been producing much better showings on the road than on the travels, but they are still seen as favourites to win this match. All Florian Schock, Nicolas Gavory, Valgeir Fridriksson, Karim Affo, Dzenan Pejcinovic, and Marcel Sobotkka are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Red Devils, on the other hand, aim to build on a thrilling 3-0 win over Paderborn, but given their struggles on the travels, we are tempted to bet on Daniel Thioune’s troops. You should know that Dusseldorf have emerged triumphant in each of their last three meetings with Kaiserslautern. The likes of Jan Gyamerah, Almamy Toure, Hendick Zuck, and Julian Niehues are injured for the visiting team.
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.
Speaking of the German Cup, Fortuna Dusseldorf won the DFB-Pokal twice (1979, 1980), while making it to the final of the competition in 1937, 1957, 1958, 1962 and 1978. The likes of Paul Janes, Anton Turek, Stanislaus Kobierski, Klaus Allofs, Ernst Albrecht and Erich Juskowiak are some of notable footballers who played for the Fingeraner in the past.
