Prediction: 3-0
Fortuna Dusseldorf
Sunday’s football match at Red Bull Arena pits together Leipzig and Fortuna Dusseldorf, the two teams who have entirely different ambitions for the 2018/2019 Bundesliga campaign. The Red Bulls are eyeing a top-four finish, whilst the newcomers are eager to secure the Bundesliga survival. Fortuna Dusseldorf suffered a 2-1 loss to Augburg in front of home fans in their opener, meaning that they could be low on confidence ahead of the trip to Leipzig. It is well known that the Red Bulls are a real force to be reckoned with at home and despite the fact they play on three fronts in the 2018/2019 season, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the hosts. When the two teams met in 2. Bundesliga two years ago Leipzig defeated Fortuna Dusseldorf 3-1 and we predict that the history is going to repeat itself.

Highlighted Player (Yussuf Poulsen):
Yussuf Poulsen is a Danish footballer who started his youth career at BK Skjold. At the age of 14 he joined Lyngby and he made his debut for the first team on 4 December, 2011. He came as a substitute in a match against Horsens after 84 minutes, substituting Mathias Tauber. However, he made no more than five league appearances for Lyngby in the 2011/2012 season. Despite the fact that Lyngby dropped to Denmark 1st Division, Poulsen did not leave the club in the summer transfer window and it has to be noted that he made 30 appearances for the Vikings in the 2012/2013 campaign. On 4 July, 2013 he signed a deal with Leipzig and he has been playing for the German outfit ever since. The 193-cm-tall attacker is capable of playing as both right and left winger. Poulsen’s father is Tanzanian, but he decided to represent the Danish national team. He made his debut for the senior team against Albania on 11 October, 2014. Poulsen scored his first ever goal for Denmark in a 2-0 win over Serbia on June 13, 2015.
