Fortuna Dusseldorf
- Fortuna Dusseldorf have had a bad run of form coming into this one, winning one and losing four of their last five games.
- Alexander Ende took charge in April 2026 and has aimed to stabilize the side with a structured, possession-based approach, using a compact 4-2-3-1 that emphasises vertical passes and a measured tempo.
SV Elversberg
- SV Elversberg are currently 2nd in the 2. Bundesliga with 59 points from 32 games, while Fortuna Dusseldorf are in 16th position with 34 points.
- Elversberg are in form with two wins, two draws and just one defeat from their last five, while Fortuna are in poor form with one win and four defeats from their last five.
Head-to-Head
Elversberg have won seven, drawn four and lost five of their 16 away league games, averaging 1.75 goals scored and 1.38 goals conceded per away game, so I fancy them to nick a victory again here.
Key Players
- Lukas Petkov has made a strong contribution to his club’s league campaign with 13 goals in 32 appearances, including four of their last 13 goals scored.
- Cedric Itten, with 13 goals in 29 league appearances, is a similar threat for Fortuna Dusseldorf, who have failed to win either of their last two home games against Elversberg.
Betting Insights
Elversberg are the favorites for this match at 2.06 , which is reasonable given their recent form and head-to-head dominance over Fortuna, although the bookmakers are underestimating the hosts by those odds.
Prediction
With over 2.5 goals at 1.36 and both teams to score at 1.35 seeming too short, I will have a small wager on the visitors to grab another away win.
