Wurzburger Kickers vs Dusseldorf Prediction & Betting tips
The air in the table cellar is getting thinner and thinner for the Würzburger Kickers. After the team of coach Bernhard Trares drew the short straw with 1: 2 despite a 1-0 lead at Erzgebirge Aue during the week, the gap to the safe bank has increased again to eight points.
No wonder, then, that before the game of the Würzburger Kickers against Düsseldorf, the odds of the best bookmakers point to the direct relegation of Lower Franconia. Already against the ambitious Rhinelander the next defeat beckons, especially since the FWK has the weakest home team in the 2nd Bundesliga and lost seven of the last ten matches in the lower house.
On the other hand, Fortuna is hoping for an important threesome in the fight for connection to the top. Although the red-whites currently have to settle for fifth place in the table of the 2nd division, they are tied with the relegation place and only five points behind the leader from Hamburg.
At first glance, a prognosis for the away win between the Würzburger Kickers and Düsseldorf seems obvious, because the Rösler-Elf scored ten out of a possible twelve points from the last four guest appearances in the current season. Coupled with the quality and self-confidence advantages, anything but a trio of guests would be a little surprise.
Würzburger Kickers :
Belief in one’s own strength is an extremely valuable asset in a relegation battle. If this conviction is lost, however, the mission of ‘staying up’ becomes much more complicated. The aforementioned belief could have suffered enormously during the week in the case of the Würzburger Kickers. Despite a good away game at Erzgebirge Aue and a 1-0 lead until the last quarter of an hour, the Lower Franconians were again empty-handed after the final whistle.
Florian Krüger and Florian Ballas scored their 13th defeat in their 18th game of the season with their goals twelve and five minutes before the end of regular time, respectively. The FWK not only conceded the most bankruptcies of all second division clubs (13), but also celebrated the fewest wins (two). The 38 goals received are also not outbid by any league competitor. Seldom has a team earned the red lantern so well.
In view of these numbers and the fact that the third division promoted player lost seven of his last ten league games, a tip on the hosts is definitely not advisable on Friday evening at the beginning of the 19th matchday in the duel between the Würzburger Kickers and Düsseldorf.
As an additional argument, the catastrophic record in their own stadium can be cited, because in nine home games so far only a meager six points jumped out. In addition, the bottom of the home table has already conceded 19 goals, more than two on average per game. A point win against the aspirant from the Rhineland is therefore a long way off, especially since Coach Trares, who returns to the bank after an indoor lock against Aue, has to do without Ewerton, Kopacz, Hägele and Hansen.
Düsseldorf :
It has been almost two months since Fortuna from Düsseldorf last lost a game in the 2nd Bundesliga. At the end of November, the Bundesliga relegated was outnumbered at VfL Bochum with 0: 5 under the wheels, but from then on emerged stronger from this gossip and is now living up to its own claims in the very balanced second Bundesliga.
The Rhinelander have not lost nine consecutive matches. During the period mentioned, coach Uwe Rösler’s team celebrated six wins and three draws. Those points were shared most recently in the spectacular 3: 3 at home against Greuther Fürth and in the remarkable 0: 0 against HSV, which once again underpinned the high ambitions of the red-whites.
Meanwhile, there is potential for improvement abroad, where only three of the nine guest appearances have been successfully played. While the defensive is one of the most stable in the 2nd division with only eight goals conceded in its own stadium, keeper Kastenmeier has already had to reach behind him 14 times away. Against this background, it can also be an option between the Würzburger Kickers and Düsseldorf to dare to predict at least three goals in the course of the game.
The bottom line, however, is that we are convinced that the self-confident guests have the best chance of returning from Lower Franconia with three points. The higher quality, the better form and, last but not least, the very potent offensive, which marked two goals on average in the last seven encounters, are all indications that speak for an away win of the fifth in the table.
The failure of youngster Shinta Appelkamp does not change that. Gül, Iyoha and Piotrowski are also injured but can easily be replaced. Most recently, the six-time goal scorer Rouwen Hennings had to sit on the bench from the start. There is no lack of personnel alternatives, which must be seen as an advantage at the end of an English week.
