Game week two of the 2. Bundesliga season and the teams have had a few days to digest the first match. Here's the Fortuna Düsseldorf - Werder Bremen preview:

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

Last season, Fortuna Düsseldorf's league statistics were 16 wins, 8 draws and 10 losses, resulting in a 5th position in the 2. Bundesliga. Over these 34 matches they scored 55 goals and conceded 46. Playing at home last season Fortuna Düsseldorf managed 11-4-2 (win-draw-lost) with 32 goals and 20 conceded.

Happy days for Düsseldorf in their previous game, a 2. Bundesliga match away at Sandhausen (placed 16th) that ended with a 2-0 victory. Rouwen Hennings, who plays in attack, was the top performer for the team in that game, scoring a rating of 8.43 (out of 10). Hennings scored two goals and hit one key pass.

A defeat was the result before that one, 2-3 away at Greuther Furth.

The game before that, in the Bundesliga, was lost at home, a 2-4 defeat against Borussia M'gladbach.
