Match Preview
Fortuna Düsseldorf will host Nürnberg at the Merkur Spiel-Arena on Sunday, 5 October, in what promises to be an intriguing clash in the 2. Bundesliga. Düsseldorf enters the match with a mixed bag of results, having secured two wins but faltering in their last three outings. In contrast, Nürnberg's struggles are evident, as they are yet to win in their last five matches, with three losses and two draws. This disparity in form could play a crucial role, especially given Düsseldorf's home advantage.
A key angle to consider is the historical head-to-head record, which shows a balanced rivalry with Düsseldorf slightly edging it with four wins to Nürnberg's three in the last ten encounters. Additionally, both teams have demonstrated a tendency to score, with five of those matches seeing both teams finding the net. Given Nürnberg's pressing need for points and Düsseldorf's recent inconsistency, this match could see an open contest, making the prospect of both teams scoring a likely scenario.
