A Sports Betting Pick by Niko
Football; Germany: 2. Bundesliga

Fortuna Dusseldorf
After some poor performances, Fortuna Düsseldorf responded well to pressure and won 1-0 away at a battling VfL Bochum last week. It was a relieving victory, which should boost their confidence now against another team from the bottom of the 2.Bundesliga.
Last week’s victory against VfL Bochum was Fortuna Düsseldorf’s third win in seven games this season, which is not ideal. They have also suffered three defeats already, which seriously damaged their promotion plans.
A very surprising fact is that Fortuna Düsseldorf is still winless at home this season, having lost twice and drawn once in their three home games. But they could not have wished for a better opponent than Nürnberg, who are currently struggling in the relegation zone.
Nürnberg
Nürnberg suffered five defeats in their seven 2.Bundesliga games. A couple of weeks ago, they won for the first time against VfL Bochum, which many thought would overcome their crisis, but no.
Nürnberg is the same old, bad side. Last week, they were defeated 3-0 by struggling Hertha Berlin and did not show anything worthy in that game. No energy, no chances, no will, which increases the unrest in the team and piles more pressure on coach Miroslav Klose.
Last week’s defeat was Nürnberg’s third straight game ending with three or more goals scored.
The Betting Verdict
Fortuna Düsseldorf has remained unbeaten in their last four 2.Bundesliga duels against Nürnberg (two wins, two draws). However, both of their last two duels ended in 2-2 and 3-3 draws.
Fortuna Düsseldorf is still a shaky team, searching for better form, but Nürnberg are simply terrible at the start of this season. They were totally dismantled last week, and I cannot see them getting much on this trip.
It’s time for Fortuna Düsseldorf’s first home win of the season, and I believe they will do so in this game against weak Nürnberg, at valuable odds.
