Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Dusseldorf
Match Time & Date:
30 August 2025
19:30
Prediction: 2-1
Karlsruher
Fortuna Dusseldorf play host to Karlsruher at their Merkur Spiel-Arena on day 4 of the new 2. Bundesliga campaign. Dusseldorf aim to build on a 2-1 win over Paderborn and they are seen as slim favourites to beat Karlsruher in Saturday’s encounter. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but all Affo, Anhari, Iyoha, Manu, Raimund, and Shock remain in the recovery room.
Karlsruher, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-0 win over Eintracht Braunschweig, but given Fortuna’s signs of improvement in all competitions, we predict that the visitors will return home empty-handed. Efe-Kaan Sihlaroglu remains on the sidelines with injury for the visiting side, while Louey Ben Farhat will be assessed ahead of the kick-off. In their last meeting in the German second tier, Dusseldorf defeated Karlsruher 3-2 and we predict that history is going to repeat.
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.
