The visiting Schalke 04 side should be favourites in this visit to Fortuna Düsseldorf, as the away team holds a 15 point advantage from their 25 league games this season.
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.
