Prediction: 3-0
Paderborn
Fortuna Dusseldorf and Paderborn go head to head at Merkur Spiel-Arena in the 2. Bundesliga round 14. Fortuna are on a four-game winning run in the league, but they suffered elimination in the DFB Pokal following a 3-2 loss to Essen. Uwe Rosler’s men will be fully focused on the German second tier in the remainder of the season, and they are surely capable of beating Paderborn at home ground.
Steffen Baumgart’s troops, on the other hand, aim to build on the German Cup victory over Union Berlin. Paderborn are undefeated in the previous three league fixtures, but Fortuna are likely to pose a much bigger threat for the visitors than their previous rivals. Since Uwe Rosler’s men are brimming with confidence ahead of the first game of the year, home win should be considered. A man to watch in the home team will be experienced attacker Rouwen Hennings.
