A Clash of Unpredictability
As Fortuna Dusseldorf prepares to host Greuther Furth, the stage is set for a fascinating encounter in the 2. Bundesliga. Both teams have had their share of ups and downs this season, making this match a compelling prospect for fans and analysts alike. Fortuna Dusseldorf, currently sitting in the 9th position, has shown a penchant for high-scoring games, with an average of 1.77 goals per match. Their recent form has been inconsistent, highlighted by a win against Karlsruher SC and a draw against Darmstadt. The team will be looking to capitalize on their home advantage, although their record at home this season has been less than stellar, with only one win in eight matches.
Fortuna Dusseldorf's Scoring Prowess
Fortuna Dusseldorf's ability to find the back of the net has been one of their strengths this season. With players like Isak Bergmann Johannesson and Dawid Kownacki leading the charge, the team has managed to score consistently. However, their defense has been a concern, having conceded in each of their last nine matches. Injuries have also plagued the squad, with key players like Emmanuel Iyoha and Marcel Sobottka out, although they are expected to return soon. The team's high-scoring nature is evident, with over 80% of their matches seeing more than 1.5 goals.
Greuther Furth's New Additions
On the other side, Greuther Furth has been active in the transfer market, bringing in striker Jannik Mause on loan to bolster their attack. Mause's arrival is a strategic move to address their offensive struggles, as the team has scored only 27 goals this season. Despite their challenges, Greuther Furth has shown resilience, with recent victories against 1860 Mnchen and Hannover 96. However, their away form has been concerning, with no wins in their last five away matches. The addition of Mause, along with defenders Joshua Quarshie and Noah Loosli, reflects the team's determination to improve their standings.
Historical Context and Prediction
Historically, matches between these two sides have been closely contested. The most common result when Fortuna Dusseldorf plays at home against Greuther Furth is a 1-0 win for the hosts. However, recent encounters have seen Greuther Furth edge out victories, including a 2-1 win in their last meeting. With both teams struggling for consistency, this match is likely to be a tight affair. Given Fortuna Dusseldorf's scoring ability and Greuther Furth's recent signings, a draw with both teams finding the net seems a plausible outcome. Expect a hard-fought battle with a 1-1 scoreline as both teams aim to gain crucial points in their quest for stability in the league.
