2nd League: Fortuna Düsseldorf – Holstein Kiel (Sunday, 1:30 p.m.)

The storks want to extend their winning streak of three wins at Düsseldorf. Last week Fortuna won against 1. FC Nürnberg 5-0. Fortuna Düsseldorf is now at the top of the table with 27 points. Kiel won the last game against SV Wehen Wiesbaden 3-2 and is in second place in the table with 29 points.

34 goals – no other team in the 2nd league scored more goals than Düsseldorf. In addition to the eight wins and three draws, the home team has had four bankruptcies. Things have been going quite well for Fortuna Düsseldorf recently – the result is nine points from the last five games.

Holstein Kiel’s record after 15 matches consists of nine successes, two draws and four defeats. Ten points from the last five matches represent a reasonable return for the guests.

Above all, the storks have to get Fortuna’s offensive department under control. On average, the opponent scores more than twice per game. The differences in the performance of both teams so far are marginal. In the tableau, the teams are separated by just two points. Düsseldorf could not be said to have had a slack pace in the season so far. 38 yellow cards prove that Fortuna Düsseldorf was not exactly squeamish when it came to action.

With Fortuna, Kiel is playing against a team on equal terms – at least that’s what a look at the current table position of the two teams suggests.
