German 2.Bundesliga
2025-10-17 - Fortuna Dusseldorf vs Eintracht Braunschweig
A Sports Betting Pick by Niko
Football; Germany: 2. Bundesliga
Merkur Spiel Arena – Dusseldorf
Friday, 17th October 2025 - kickoff 18:30 CET
Fortuna Dusseldorf
Fortuna Düsseldorf’s weak start and two losses in their last three games led to the sacking of their head coach, Daniel Thioune.
They regrouped during the international break, appointing Markus Anfang as their head coach. He led the team in a friendly game against the Dutch side Heracles Almelo, winning 1-3, which should give them some confidence before this game.
Currently, Fortuna Düsseldorf is in the lower half of the 2.Bundesliga, winning only three of their eight matches. They must enter a winning series quickly; otherwise, it will become extremely difficult to catch up with the top sides.
Incredibly, Fortuna Düsseldorf is still winless at home, losing three and drawing once in their four games played so far.
Eintracht Braunschweig
Eintracht Braunschweig is in a deeper crisis than Fortuna Düsseldorf, floating just above the relegation zone.
They are now six league games without a win, losing all their last four convincingly.
At away grounds, Eintracht Braunschweig lost in each of their most recent three trips, conceding seven goals.
The Betting Verdict
Fortuna Düsseldorf have won five of their last six duels against Eintracht Braunschweig, drawing once.
Fortuna Düsseldorf also won each of the last three duels played in Düsseldorf, hammering them 5-0 in their most recent duel there.
Fortuna Düsseldorf has a new coach who brings new energy after the international break. Eintracht Braunschweig is still far from improving, so here I recommend taking the home team to win the game at good odds.
The Pick :
Fortuna Dusseldorf 2-0 Eintracht Braunschweig
