Fortuna Dusseldorf take on the visitors Paderborn in the round 2 match of German Bundesliga 2. The match will be played on Friday, July 22th at Merkur Spiel-Arena (Düsseldorf)
Fortuna Dusseldorf played in Bundesliga 1 relatively recently. Moreover, unlike the previous attempt, the Red-Whites managed to hold out at the level of the elite division for 2 years in a row. But, having eventually dropped in the class in 2020, after that the team performed only worse and worse. At first, Fortuna were close to returning to elite, but eventually finished in 5th position. And last spring, he could only close the top ten at all. Of course, they wanted to reverse this unpleasant trend in Düsseldorf. Daniel Thune, a 47-year-old mentor who has previously worked with Osnabrück and Hamburg, is called upon to cope with this task. His official debut turned out to be good: an away victory. The top scorer of recent years, Hennings, opened the scoring. As a result, Magdeburg won 2-1.

Paderborn also played Bundesliga - however, invariably unsuccessfully. After the 2nd fall, at least it was possible to avoid further “sliding” into the 3rd division of the country. In both 2020/2021 and 2021/2022, the White-Blues finished in the middle of the table, first in 9th place, and then, last spring, in 7th place. However, Lukas Kwasnek, who has been working here since 2021, has retained his position as head coach. Perhaps now the team will claim something more. Paderborn started extremely confidently, simply destroying Karlsruhe on July 17 at home. And the visitors managed to hold out for more than half. But they were all broken by a penalty, from which Musliya opened the scoring in the 56th minute. After that, the visitors fell down, and in some 20 minutes they conceded four more times, with Yustvan and Conte scoring a goal and an assist each. But the next rivals are unlikely to capitulate so limply.
In 2021, Paderborn won two head-to-heads in a row, and with difficulties - 2-1 at home, 3-2 on the road. And only in March Fortuna managed to take at least a draw, and on the road. Bookmakers give an advantage to the hosts in this pair. But Paderborn plays well with this club, so we recommend betting that the final “over 2.5 goals” in Dusseldorf.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
