Only a few games have been played in the Regionalliga: West so far, with Rot-Weiss Essen placed 6th and Fortuna Düsseldorf II sitting in the 3rd position.
Rot-Weiss Essen and Fortuna Düsseldorf II should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Rot-Weiss Essen form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Rot-Weiss Essen's two home games in the Regionalliga: West so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Stadion Essen.
Happy days for Rot-Weiss in their previous game, a Regionalliga: West match away at Lippstadt 08 (placed 10th) that ended with a 3-0 victory. Ahead of that match, Rot-Weiss won a home game hosting Rot Weiss Ahlen (3-2).
There will be little rest for Rot-Weiss after this match as they are travelling to Bonner SC for a Regionalliga: West game in only four days.
Early season league goal statistics from Rot-Weiss Essen's 2 home games: 4 goals, 3 conceded.
Fortuna Düsseldorf II form and stats
Fortuna Düsseldorf II, who have the most scored goals (14) in Regionalliga: West, are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Regionalliga: West, having played 3 games and collected 5 points (1 win, 2 draws and 0 losses).
The Düsseldorf goalkeeper Dennis Gorka is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 397 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.
Fortuna Düsseldorf II go into this game after a win, the home game against Sportfreunde Lotte that ended 6-0. Before that, Düsseldorf travelled to Koln II and returned home with a draw after the game finished 0-0.
