Our prediction for this DFB Pokal match:
A place in the DFB Pokal quarter-finals will be at stake when Magdeburg and Dusseldorf take on each other at MDCC-Arena on Tuesday evening. Magdeburg aim to build on back-to-back wins over Osnabruck and Kaiserslautern, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. The hosts have been scoring goals for fun of late and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. All Jason Ceka, Eldin Dzogovic, Julian Pollersbeck, Jean Hugonet, and Mo El Hankouri should miss out with injuries for the home team.
Dusseldorf, on the other hand, looked sharp in front of goal in back-to-back wins over Nurnberg (5-0) and Schalke (5-3) and, taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. In their last meeting in the German second tier Dusseldorf defeated Magdeburg 3-2. As for the away side, all Marcel Sobottka, Matthias Zimmermann, and Andre Hoffmann are out of contention with injuries.
Highlighted Team (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.
