Fortuna Koln
- Fortuna Koln are undefeated at home in the 3.Liga 2026/2027 with 1 draw and 0 defeats.
- Fortuna Koln are 11th in the 3.Liga 2026/2027 with 4 points from their first 3 games, a respectable start that keeps them firmly in the middle of the pack.
- Matthias Mink has done a good job since taking the helm on 1st March 2024 and Koln have come into this game off the back of a pair of solid results.
- Südstädter drew 1-1 with TSV Alemannia Aachen at home before beating SC Verl 1924 1-2 away yesterday in the 3.Liga 2026/2027.
Fortuna Dusseldorf
- TSV Fortuna Dusseldorf are yet to win away in the 3.Liga 2026/2027, conceding an average of 2.00 goals.
- Dusseldorf are 17th in the 3.Liga 2026/2027 with 3 points from 3 games and the visitors come into this matchup with the greater pressure on their shoulders on Sunday.
- Alexander Ende has done a decent job since he took over on 13th April 2026 and his possession-first approach, which uses midfield overloads to try and control the pace of games, has brought a slight uptick in results.
- F95's last 3 games has seen a 0-2 home loss to TSG 1899 Hoffenheim II in the 3.Liga 2026/2027, a 1-5 thrashing in the cup to SC Freiburg and a 1-0 home win over VfB Stuttgart II in the 3.Liga 2026/2027.
Key Players
- It is Romeo Aigbekaen that has been Koln's man of the moment in the 3.Liga 2026/2027 with 2 goals in 3 games, but Bennit Broeger also offers the spark of a foil with 1 assist in 3 games as he makes a growing impact in the offensive third.
- Andreas Mueller is F95's sharpest edge up top with 1 goal in 2 appearances in the 3.Liga 2026/2027, Yassine Bouchama has provided 1 assist in 2 appearances as a creative outlet and Fabian Schleusener, who has scored 2 of the 4 goals in their last 5 matches, is another danger man.
Betting Insights
- Fortuna Dusseldorf are the odds-on favorite with the bookies at 1.75, with Koln at 3.8 and the draw at 4.0.
- However, we feel that Fortuna Koln are a decent pick to avoid defeat at least, as the home side has taken 4 points from their last 2 league games and are unbeaten in their 3.Liga 2026/2027 home games.
- F95 do have a lot more structure and control and if they can get past the press, they should have the quality to create chances and punish the hosts.
- 2+ goals is priced at 1.5 and both teams not to score at 2.5 also appeals as the favourite could keep it tidy at the back.
Prediction
This will be a tough game but Dusseldorf should just have the edge and they are worth a modest bet at the odds available.
