Fortuna Dusseldorf are welcoming Paderborn for another important game after their 1-1 result against 15th-placed Mainz 05.
Fortuna Düsseldorf form and stats
Fortuna Düsseldorf's results here at Merkur Spiel-Arena in the Bundesliga have been very modest with 3 victories, 3 draws and 6 defeats.
The home team returns to Merkur Spiel-Arena after being equal after 90 minutes with Mainz 05 (placed 15th) on their last time out; the Bundesliga game ended 1-1. Preceding that game was the away draw at Saarbrucken (after extra-time, 7-6 on penalties) that finished 1-1.
The Düsseldorf fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 12 matches. Düsseldorf have conceded 23 from these games.
Paderborn form and stats
Paderborn have only collected 9 points from their away games in the Bundesliga, after 2-3-7 (12 played). With the Paderborn losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Paderborn are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Home advantage was not enough for Paderborn in their previous game, as they lost their Bundesliga-match, hosting Köln, 1-2. Prior to that match, the Paderborn manager S. Baumgart faced defeat when travelling to Mainz 05 and losing 0-2.
Paderborn have scored 13 goals on their travels this season, from 12 away games in the league. Paderborn's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 23 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
The dueling parties have met before this season: Paderborn - Düsseldorf 2-0. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: one win for Düsseldorf, four draws and five wins for Paderborn. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.Top Goalscorers
