Fortuna Dusseldorf Prediction
Up until mid-December it had been a wretched season in the German top flight for Fortuna Dusseldorf as the hosts had registered just two wins from their first 14 matches in the Bundesliga, including a 7-1 thrashing away at Eintracht Frankfurt back in October.
However, recent weeks have seen a considerable improvement from Fortuna Dusseldorf as the hosts have captured four wins on the trot with victories chalked up against Freiburg, Borussia Dortmund, Hannover 96 and Augsburg which will be the perfect tonic ahead of this clash with Leipzig.
At their Merkur Spiel-Arena, Dusseldorf possess an inconsistent looking 4-0-5 12/13 record but the hosts have won three of their last four on home turf and will therefore fancy their chances of getting something out of this encounter.
Midfielder Lukebakio (7 goals) and forward Raman (4 goals) look the most likely for the hosts.
Key-Facts – Fortuna Dusseldorf v RB Leipzig
- Fortuna Dusseldorf have won their last 4 matches on the trot in the Bundesliga
- Fortuna Dusseldorf have scored 8 goals in their last 4 home matches
- RB Leipzig have lost their last 3 away matches on the trot
RB Leipzig Prediction
RB Leipzig sit in 4th place on the Bundesliga ladder but largely owe their current lofty position in the German top flight to their impressive and solid home record where they’ve suffered just one defeat and recorded 7 of their 9 wins this season.
Overall results have been mixed in recent weeks for the visitors who have won their recent home games against Mainz 05 and Werder Bremen, but have also lost to Freiburg, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund as well.
Leipzig’s record away from home though has been disappointing so far this season as their record stands at 2-2-4 7/11 which includes having lost their last three away matches on the bounce at Wolfsburg, Freiburg and Bayern Munich, all of which were to nil.
In addition, the goals seem to have dried up for the visitors as they’ve failed to score in four of their last five matches on their travels, and as they’re up against a Fortuna Dusseldorf side who have won their last four on the trot, this could be a very tricky fixture for Leipzig to negotiate.
Betting Tips Verdict
Fortuna Dusseldorf have turned things around in recent times and they stand a great chance of grabbing at least a point if not more here.
