TSV Fortuna Dusseldorf
- Fortuna's last five matches are a record of W3, D1, L1, a return which is strong enough to put Alexander Ende's men just above their opponents in the 3.Liga 2026/2027 table.
- TSV Fortuna Dusseldorf have won two and lost one at home in the 3.Liga 2026/2027, so they're a solid unit.
- They've conceded just three goals in three fixtures at home, so they're certainly not a club which will collapse at the back.
- However, their recent three matches have given a return of two wins and a defeat, so we can't ignore the fact that Alexander Ende's side are a little more dynamic than their results suggest.
- That's because Fortuna are a team that like to get compact, with a four-man base and plenty of energy behind them to make the game a chess match which they can win with a quick transition or two.
SC Verl 1924
- SC Verl's last five is the same as Fortuna's, but for the order in which the games have gone.
- Verl are a possession team who will look to squeeze the life out of games, but they have to get at the right space for their team to be effective.
- Tim Heike is the danger man for Verl, with four goals in 3.Liga 2026/2027 so far, three of which have come in their last five.
- Verl's record of one win, one draw and one loss from three away games looks solid, but Fortuna are solid at home, so the more likely outcome is a close game, which the home side have a better chance of winning.

- Tim Heike is the danger man for Verl, with four goals in 3.Liga 2026/2027 so far, three of which have come in their last five.
