Dusseldorf vs Heidenheim Prediction & Betting tips
Düsseldorf – Heidenheim, both teams are after the first third of the season to the surprises. Fortuna Dusseldorf as a front-runner is certainly an unexpectedly positive phenomenon, while the 1. FC Heidenheim could not necessarily expect in the basement, with the trend in FCH is at least slightly positive.
Six times have faced both clubs so far, without exception, since 2014 in the 2nd Bundesliga. With three wins the statistic speaks easily for Heidenheim in a draw and two successes of Fortuna. In Dusseldorf, the balance is balanced with one win and one draw.
Dusseldorf :
After a 2-2 draw against Eintracht Braunschweig Fortuna Dusseldorf has at Erzgebirge Aue (2: 0), in the DFB Cup at Arminia Bielefeld (3: 1 nV), against 1 FC Kaiserslautern (2: 0), at SV Sandhausen (2: 1) and against the 1st FC Union Berlin (3: 2) put down a first series of five wins in a row, which was interrupted by a 1: 3 at SpVgg Greuther Fürth, but was resumed directly. Once again, the Rhinelanders celebrated against SSV Jahn Regensburg (1-0), FC St. Pauli (2-0), MSV Duisburg (3-1), Arminia Bielefeld (2-0) and SV Darmstadt 98 (1: 0) five successive successes. Only Borussia Mönchengladbach (0: 1) in the DFB Cup provided again for a damper, the performance against the Bundesliga but still encouraged. And now on Monday it was enough in the derby at VfL Bochum after a goalless draw.
Fortuna coach Friedhelm Funkel has called a new starting eleven in all competitive games this season and this should not change this time. Only Michael Rensing is not present, whereas Oliver Fink could be an issue after muscular problems.
Probable lineup: Wolf – Schauerte, Ayhan, Bormuth, Gießelmann – Bodzek – Neuhaus, Sobottka – room, Raman – Hennings
Heidenheim:
The 1 FC Heidenheim has a 2-0 opening defeat at Eintracht Braunschweig with victories against Erzgebirge Aue (2: 1) and in the DFB Cup at the SpVgg Unterhaching (4: 0) well countered, but then against the MSV Duisburg (1 : 2), FC St. Pauli (0: 1) and SSV Jahn Regensburg (1: 3) lost three games in a row. After that, the FCH remained unbeaten three times in a row and got out of the games at VfL Bochum (2: 1), against SV Darmstadt 98 (2: 2) and Arminia Bielefeld (1: 1) after all five points. Thereafter, however, it put against Dynamo Dresden (0-2), against Holstein Kiel (3: 5) and at FC Ingolstadt (0: 3) for the second time three defeats in series. Last week, however, the node then burst twice: first Heidenheim won in the DFB Cup with 5: 2 at SSV Jahn Regensburg and then defeated the 1 FC Nuremberg 1: 0.
Not sure if Marnon Busch, who was last knocked out due to a bruise, is available again. Regardless, coach Frank Schmidt is likely to trust the team that won in Regensburg and Nuremberg anyway.
Probable lineup: Müller – Strauss, Wittek, Beermann, Feick – Titsch – Rivero, Griesbeck – Schnatterer, Thiel – Pusch, Glatzel
