Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Dusseldorf
Match Time & Date:
9 August 2025
12:00
Prediction: 2-1
Hannover
Fortuna Dusseldorf will try to recover from a heavy 5-1 loss to Arminia Bielefeld when they take on Hannover in the 2. Bundesliga round 2. Die Fortunen struggled defensively in the opening match of the season, but they are surely capable of matching Hannover in front of home fans. Defender Tim Oberdorf serves a one-game ban following his sending-off against die Arminien, while the likes of Manu, Raimund, and Anhari are all expected to miss out with injuries.
Die Roten, on the other hand, defeated Kaiserslautern 1-0 in front of home fans at the weekend, but given their difficulties on the road, we are tempted to place our bets on Dusseldorf this time out. Even though there are no fresh injury worries in the away team, Noel Aseko-Nkili should sneak into the starting XI after scoring the winner as a substitute in the opening match of the season.
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.
