Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Buoyed by back-to-back wins over Regensburg and Kaiserslautern, Hertha Berlin will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Fortuna Dusseldorf on Matchday 5. Hertha Berlin have been showing signs of improvement offensively and we are positive that they will adopt yet another attack-oriented strategy against Fortuna. Luca Schuler should keep his place in the starting XI after scoring a brace against the Red Devils, while the likes of Linus Gechter, Jeremy Dudziak, Kevin Sessa, and Fabian Reese remain on the sidelines with injuries.
Die Fortunen, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Ulm and Hannover, but beating Hertha in the German capital is easier said than done. A close encounter is on the cards at Olympiastadion and we predict that the two sides are going to share the spoils this time out. Both Marcel Sobottka and Jamil Siebert are injured for the visiting side.
