Fortuna Düsseldorf

Nothing is certain at the bottom of 2.Bundesliga, with three teams level on 34 points in the second automatic relegation spot before this round. Goal difference will likely play a major role in the end, and every point matters for threatened teams.

Fortuna Düsseldorf must win here, but they are facing Bundesliga contenders SV Elversberg, who are in great shape.

They lost 1-0 to Schalke 04 last week, which was their 5th defeat in the last 6 games.

What will likely cost Fortuna Düsseldorf a relegation this season is their awful attack. With just 30 goals scored in 32 games, they are the worst attacking side in 2.Bundesliga.

SV Elversberg

SV Elversberg achieved a huge 5-1 win over SC Paderborn last week, their direct Bundesliga promotion rivals. They climbed to the second automatic promotion spot, and two wins against Fortuna Düsseldorf and Preussen Münster would see them achieve a historic success!

Their schedule looks most favourable on paper, but sometimes those games against the bottom sides are the hardest to win. SV Elversberg narrowly won the first match 1-0, and it won't be easy again.

SV Elversberg must give their best here, as they were surprisingly poor in their recent away matches. They failed to win any of the last 4 on the road, drawing 3 times.

The Betting Verdict

A massive fixture for both teams. Both will chase victory, so it should be a tight and nervy game.

I trust SV Elversberg more – their incredible 5-1 win over SC Paderborn last week lifted their spirits, and they are within inches of Bundesliga promotion.

On the other side, Fortuna Düsseldorf lost 5 of the last 6, and perhaps their direct duel against fellow strugglers Greuther Fürth in the last round will decide whether they stay up or go down.

Here, back the more quality side of SV Elversberg to win at solid odds.

The Pick :

Fortuna Düsseldorf 1-2 SV Elversberg
