- Fortuna Düsseldorf have not yet lost a game at home.
- Fortuna Düsseldorf have scored more than double the goals of Hansa Rostock.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Fortuna Düsseldorf form and stats
Fortuna Düsseldorf have collected seven points from their first three 2. Bundesliga games here at Merkur Spiel-Arena, a promising start.
No payout for Fortuna Düsseldorf in their previous match, an away game at Heidenheim that ended in defeat 1-2. The first loss after going unbeaten in three league games. Klaus (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.44/10. Klaus dribled past the opponent 3 of 5 times.
Before that game, the 4-0 home victory against Jahn Regensburg.The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Fortuna Düsseldorf's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played 5 games, won 3 matches, drawn 2 and lost 0.
Düsseldorf are an "over 2,5 goals" team alone here at Merkur Spiel-Arena in their league games, having scored an impressive 8 goals in 3 matches.
Hansa Rostock form and stats
Things could have gone better for Hansa Rostock in their 2. Bundesliga away matches, but 3 points from 3 games is all right. Hansa Rostock seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
Rostock aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 253 league minutes without a goal. Verhoek was the last player to find the net.
This match can not go any worse than the previous one, the home loss versus Hannover 96 with 0-1 on the scoreboard. Ingelsson got a match rating of 7.25 in that game, top player of the team. Ingelsson hit four key passes.
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Karlsruher SC wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.There's been a serious shortage of goals from Hansa Rostock's away games in the league this season with only 1 goal from 3 matches.
Head 2 Head
Head to head numbers (for the former seven meetings): Fortuna Düsseldorf won four games, zero matches ended with a tie and Hansa Rostock have three wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: six / one
