Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Fortuna Dusseldorf will be aiming to put an end to their five-game winless run when they take on Hansa Rostock in the 2. Bundesliga round 23. Fortuna have been struggling to get back on course, but it seems as if their performances are much better than the results. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Christos Tzolis, who scored a brace in a 2-2 draw with Karlsruher, while all Klaus Sima Suso, Daniel Bunk, Jamil Siebert, and Marcel Sobottka are out of contention with injuries.
Hansa, on the other hand, are sitting in the relegation zone ahead of Sunday’s clash. As Dusseldorf will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways, we predict that Mersad Selimbegovic’s troops are going to return home empty-handed. All Jasper van der Werff, Alexander Rossipal, Sebastian Vasiliadis, Elias Hoftmann, and Jonas David are out of contention with injuries.

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.
