Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Fortuna Dusseldorf and HSV go head to head at Merkur Spiel-Arena in what is expected to be an entertaining 2. Bundesliga game. Die Fortunen have been in a fine form of late, especially on home soil, with the team eyeing their fourth consecutive win at their arena. All Lobinger, Koutris, Gavory, and Bozenik are rated doubtful following their recent positive tests for coronavirus, while both Klaus and Bodzek have been struggling with injuries.
Die Rothosen, on the other hand, aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to Werder Bremen and Nurnberg, and given their attacking potential, we believe that there is a value in betting on over 2.5 goals. As always, a man to watch in the away team will be Simon Terodde, while Jonas Meffert serves a one-game ban. Both Tim Leibold and Stephan Ambrosius are injured for the visiting team.
