Prediction: 2-0
Schalke
Merkur Spiel-Arena will host Saturday’s fooball game between Fortuna Dusseldorf and Schalke, the two teams sitting in the opposite halves of the table. Fortuna aim to move closer to the playoffs berth and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at die Knappen. Forward Jona Niemiec serves a one-game ban, while all Kwarteng, Pejcinovic, Rossmann, and Vermeij miss out with injuries.
Schalke, on the other hand, are one point away from securing the 2. Bundesliga survival, but with Dusseldorf being a real force to be reckoned with at home, we predict that the visitors will return to Gelsenkirchen with their hands empty. Schalke’s injury list remains pretty long, including the likes of Bachmann, Amoussou-Tchibara, Bayindir, Fahrmann, Kalas, and Karius. It has to be noted that Fortuna Dusseldorf rolled over Schalke 04 5-3 in their last meeting at the venue.
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.
