Dusseldorf – Nuremberg, the top match second to third place rises at the end of the 17th matchday and thus the first round finale on Monday night.

A 1: 3 at the SpVgg Greuther Fürth then interrupted this run only briefly, which was continued directly with five other victories in series. Since a 1-0 win against SV Darmstadt 98 on Matchday 11, Fortuna has been waiting for six games for a win. A 0: 1 in the DFB Cup against Borussia Mönchengladbach brought the Fortuna obviously out of the track. After that, it was enough for VfL Bochum (0-0) and 1. FC Heidenheim (2-2) to draw, before FC Ingolstadt (1-0) and Dynamo Dresden (3-1) even lost twice has been. The 2: 2 last weekend at Holstein Kiel, which has displaced the Fortuna from the top of the table, was, however, rather positive, despite the again missing victory.
As Florian Neuhaus is available again after the suspended barrier, Traner Friedhelm Funkel can finally muster a team that should come close to his wishful approach. Only Michael Rensing is still not there and behind Adam Bodzek is a question mark.

With a 2: 2 against Holstein Kiel, it went but then again in the other direction and last arrive at Eintracht Braunschweig (3: 2) and against the SV Sandhausen (1: 0) two deserved victories.
