Fortuna Dusseldorf hosts Werder Bremen in round 2 of German Bundesliga 2. The match will be played on Saturday, July 31st at Merkur Spiel-Arena (Düsseldorf)
Fortuna Dusseldorf relatively recently played in the elite division. And having lost their place there, the Reds certainly set themselves the goal of returning as soon as possible. Still, the club did not manage to do it from the outset. Fortuna Dusseldorf was able to score only 56 points and rounded out the top five. Of course, that result did not give them anything. But the Reds showed a good start to the new season under the management of Christian Preusser. Rouwen Hennings remains the main striking force of the team from Dusseldorf. The 33-year-old forward hammered 15 goals in the Bundesliga. Last year was not so good, and he scored only 9 goals. But he started the new championship with a double on the pitch of Sandhausen, and his team won 0-2.

Relatively recently Werder Bremen was one of the leaders of German football. The fans still remember how this team regularly played in the Champions League and fought for trophies in the local arena. But recent years have passed under the sign of battles for survival. The Green-Whites even had to participate in playoff matches, but everything ended quite predictably. Having failed the end of last season, the glorious club eventually fell to 17th place and was relegated directly. It is clear that the bosses appointed a new coach, Markus Anfang. And his task is obvious: to return the eminent team to its usual level. But the first pancake was a blob. Hosting Hannover in the 1st round, Werder Bremen opened the scoring only thanks to an own goal. But the Green-Whites could not keep that advantage and tied 1-1.
When the clubs played together in the Bundesliga (in 2018-2020), they usually exchanged victories. However, these were home victories at first, and the team gained away wins in the championship before last. One more rule: head-to-head matches between Fortuna and Werder Bremen are usually spectacular. It is unlikely that now the fans in Dusseldorf will be bored. We recommend betting on Over 2.5 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals scored
