Dusseldorf enter this clash under pressure after a difficult run of form, and we do not believe that they are capable of grabbing more than a 2-2 draw from Friday's clash against Schalke 04. Die Fortunen have been collecting just 0.70 points per game overall and struggling in front of their own fans, where they average only 0.67 PPG. Their attacking output at home is modest, and the absence of important midfielder Tim Breithaupt is likely to hurt their structure, ball progression, and defensive balance. Defensively, the hosts have been far from reliable, conceding 1.97 xGA at home and keeping no clean sheets in their last five at this venue, a trend that makes it difficult for them to control matches once they fall behind.
Die Knappen, meanwhile, are trending in the opposite direction. Despite carrying a long injury list, their performances have improved dramatically, reflected in 2.20 PPG overall and a perfect 3.00 PPG at home. Even away from home they have looked competitive, scoring regularly and keeping 50% clean sheets on the road. Their defensive organization has tightened, while their attack remains efficient and disciplined.
Anyhow, we are tempted to bet on Over 2.5 goals as 69% of their previous 13 meetings have featured 3 or more goals. BTTS and Over 9.5 corners betting options seem appealing as well.
This Bundesliga 2 match will be played on Friday 5 December 2025 at 17:30.
