Fortuna Dusseldorf
This prediction will be released soonNurnberg and Fortuna Dusseldorf, the two teams who are level on points in the Bundesliga standings after five rounds, face each other at Max-Morlock-Stadion in what is expected to be a very close encounter. Nurnberg did well to beat Hannover at home at the weekend, but they were hammered by Borussia Dortmund (0-7) at Signal-Iduna-Park on Wednesday evening. The Bavarians obviously produce much better showings at home than on the travels and seeing that Fortuna Dusseldorf failed to impress in a 2-1 loss to Bayer Leverkusen in midweek, we are tempted to put our money on the hosts. In their last meeting in a competitive match Nurnberg suffered a 3-2 loss to Fortuna Dusseldorf, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge. A man to watch in the home team will be Japanese attacker Kubo, who is eager to open his goal-scoring account.

Highlighted Player (Robert Bauer):
Born on 9th April, 1995 in Pforzheim, Germany, Robert Bauer started his career at FSV Buckenberg, before joining Karlsruher SC in 2014. FC Ingolstadt was his next destination and during his 2-year stay Bauer made 42 appearances and scored one goal. Due to the fact that the 23-year old plays as a right full-back and a right wing-back, it is no wonder that his goal scoring abilities are not so good. On the other hand, this versatile player can cover every single position in defense. His good performances with Die Schanzer earned him a call-up to the Germany U20 team. The youngster was able to play both for Germany and Kazakhstan, but he decided to decline the offer of the Kazakh, hoping to represent Germany in the future. He was a part of the Germany Olympic team that won a silver medal in 2016 Summer Olympics. In 2016, Bauer joined Werder Bremen and his first season at the Weser was very good, but he suffered a somewhat dip in form during the following season, which is why he moved to Nurnberg on a loan deal, looking for regular game time.
Highlighted Team (Fortuna 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.
