Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Fortuna Dusseldorf and Magdeburg square off against each other at Merkur Spiel-Arena in what is expected to be a close 2. Bundesliga encounter. Fortuna rolled over Braunschweig 5-0 in their last home game, which is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of Friday’s clash. Midfielder Shinta Appelkamp should be the only absentee in the home team.
Magdeburg, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team losing to Hertha Berlin, beating Munster, while sharing the spoils with Paderborn. Christian Titz’s men are eager to move closer to the playoffs berth and given Fortuna Dusseldorf’s attacking potential at home, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. All Samuel Loric, Herbert Bockhorn, and Emir Kuhinja are out of contention with injuries for the visiting side, while Connor Krempicki should be recalled to the starting XI.
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.
