As in the course of the previous day, Eintracht Braunschweig will also be on the next Monday to conclude the matchday. This time away from Fortuna Düsseldorf. A very comfortable situation, the Brunswickers already know about the table constellation and can in the case of the cases. The kick-off of the meeting is on March 13 at 20:15.
Fortuna Düsseldorf
The downhill start of the Fortuna was anything but satisfactory. Actually, one wanted to get well out of the starting holes and so perhaps start an attack on the upper table region. But it came quite differently. From the first five games in the calendar year 2017 the Rheinländer did not win a single victory, two draws against the 1. FC Kaiserslautern (1: 1) and the 1. FC Heidenheim (0-0) were the highest of the feelings. In addition, they were against Stuttgart (0: 2), Greuther Fürth (0: 1) and SV Sandhausen (0: 3). After the good preparatory games there was disillusionment among the Fortunen. Last weekend, the 2: 1 against the VFL Bochum a small liberation strike. Not only was it possible to celebrate a victory for the first time in this calendar year, it was also the second game without defeat in series. However, one should not expect too much against the tables, especially since the sparkling elite is still one of the weakest hopes of the entire 2nd league. Only three times were able to cheer in the own stadium over a victory. The last one, however, dates from October 21st of the previous year. Translated by: Fortuna have not won any of their last six home games. The same applies to the first season’s duel with Braunschweig. In September of the previous year the Eintracht won in front of domestic backdrop just 2: 1. After all, with the exception of Adam Bodzek, all the squad players of Fortuna are available on Monday. In addition, both top scorers (Hennings and Bebou) have been able to finish their suspension in the final round.
Eintracht Braunschweig
The Eintracht started as a leader in the spring. The premise was that they did not have to keep up with the Bundesliga drop-offs Hannover and Stuttgart, but the team did not seem to cope with the pressure. Because the results were similarly poor as those of opponent Fortuna Düsseldorf. Braunschweig also waited five games for the first round. However, they managed against SV Sandhausen (1: 0). Positive: Last Monday, the team leaders from Stuttgart were able to win a 1: 1 draw, but more than a half-time with a man more. The team of Thorsten Lieberknecht does not appear to be as firmly established as desired. After all, one has offensive advantages over Fortuna. 35 goals are among the best in the league. However, on Monday, a similar problem could be hitting the opponent. Because while Düsseldorf has problems at home (only 3 wins) the same applies to Braunschweig in away games. Only three times you could win in a foreign country. However: the only victory in the year 2017 against Sandhausen managed just in an away game. Braunschweig has also been undefeated for two matches. Many parallels between the opponents of the Monday, who are hoping for an exciting and contested encounter. With Thorsten Lieberknecht’s team, no single squad player is injured or disabled. However, they lost two of the last three duels with Fortuna Düsseldorf.
Betting forecast
The victory against Bochum could have been a kind of initial ignition for Fortuna. With Braunschweig, however, there is an opponent who has also caught up again. We therefore reckon that it is not enough for a second win en suite, but a draw should be in the area of the possibility.
Prediction: Over 2 goals
Odds: 1.65
