The Fortuna Dusseldorf defence has consistently displayed quality, as seen by their more recent scorelines. Three goals have been scored at their end throughout the course of Fortuna Dusseldorf’s last six games, demonstrating how tough they are at the back. In the 2. Bundesliga, Fortuna Dusseldorf’s most recent game was a 2-0 loss to Hannover. In this game, they had 50% of the possession and 10 shots on goal. At HDI-Arena, there were nine corners as well. During their most recent match, Kaiserslautern defeated Karlsruhe 2-0. In this 2. Bundesliga game at Fritz Walter Stadion, Kaiserslautern scored goals through Terrence Boyd and Kenny Prince Redondo. Five of the team’s shots were on target, and two were corners. When the teams last faced off, Fortuna Dusseldorf defeated Kaiserslautern 5-2 at Fritz Walter Stadion.

Philipp Klement (54′), Aaron Opoku (57′), and Daniel Hanslik (88′) scored goals for Kaiserslautern. Arminia Bielefeld made 15 attempts at goal at the other end, scoring on seven of them. Arminia Bielefeld’s goals came from Robin Hack (60 and 73 seconds).
Prediction
Although it is doubtful that they will allow as many goals as they could, we believe that Kaiserslautern has what it takes to penetrate this Fortuna Dusseldorf defence. When everything is said and done, we predict a 2-1 victory for Fortuna Dusseldorf with goals from both teams.
