-

- 0-3 home loss to Meppen
- 3-0 away win at Ingolstadt
- 2-2 home draw with Jahn Regensburg
- Mersad Selimbegović's men have been lively and productive throughout with Mika Schroers, the ex-Jahn Regensburg forward, their main goal threat (3 goals in 5 games, 3 of their last 10).
TSV Fortuna Dusseldorf (away)
- Fortuna Düsseldorf, 11th in the 3. Liga 2026/2027 with seven points from their opening five fixtures, have also been up and down of late, with a 1-0 win against VfB Stuttgart II, a 0-0 draw away at Fortuna Köln and a 2-1 win against MSV Duisburg.
- Alexander Ende has set up Fortuna in a compact 4-3-1-2, where they control the centre of the field with the full-backs getting the width and plenty of crosses into the box.
- Fabian Schleusener is their main outlet at the top of the formation and the ex-Waldhof Mannheim attacker has bagged two goals in five appearances in the 3. Liga 2026/2027, but he's not been as prolific as Aachen's Schroers.
Key Players
Mika Schroers , the ex-Jahn Regensburg forward, is Aachen's main goal threat (3 goals in 5 games, 3 of their last 10) .
Betting Insights
- Alemannia Aachen are the slight favourites in this fixture at around 2.15, but Fortuna are an enticing 3.1 while the draw is also on the positive side of even money, around 3.4.
- Aachen's three-man defence, wing-backs and overloads in the wide areas will be pressed into action by the compact, central nature of Fortuna's 4-3-1-2 formation, which could lead to an open contest.
- The away side have only averaged 0.50 goals per game on the road in the 3. Liga 2026/2027, which is a little blunt for a side that can score freely at home, so the battle in the channels could dictate the pace and tempo of this one.
Prediction
We are going to go with the hosts here as they have more momentum and are at home, but the odds on this game, and the styles of each club, suggest that a tight, high-tempo game is on the cards and the odds on over 2.5 goals at 1.5 is probably a bit short, while Both Teams To Score - Yes at 1.42 should also have been shorter based on what we expect to see on Saturday.
