Karlsruher return home looking to get back on course after a narrow 1-0 loss to Braunschweig, a result that extended their inconsistent run. Despite creating 1.02 expected goals at home, defensive vulnerabilities remain a major issue: they concede 2.50 goals per home match and have kept zero clean sheets in front of their fans this season. Karlsruher’s overall form of 0.80 points per game reflects their struggle to turn attacking moments into consistent results. Their task becomes more complicated with Beifus and Rapp both sidelined, weakening their defensive depth.
Fortuna Dusseldorf, on the other hand, are sitting in the danger zone but with slightly better overall momentum, having won three of their last five matches. However, their away record is disastrous — four straight losses and 0.00 points per game on the road, scoring only 0.50 goals per away match. Their defensive numbers away from home are equally troubling, conceding 1.50 per match. Although their home form is strong, they have not translated it into consistent league stability. Fortuna also remain without Hettwer, Schock, and Rossmann, limiting rotation options.
H2H history heavily favours Dusseldorf (11–9–3), though most meetings are high-scoring. As both teams average 3.0+ goals in matches, Over 2.5 goals is our main betting pick for this 2. Bundesliga matchup, alongside BTTS and Karlsruher or Draw.
This Bundesliga 2 match will be played on Sunday 8 February 2026 at 12:30.
