Fortuna Dusseldorf are on the eighth place in the table with four points to their credit at the moment after three starting tours. In the first tour the Flingeraner lost to Augsburg with a 1-2 score. In the second tour they drew against one of the leading teams in the league Leipzig with a 1-1 score. In the third one the team of Friedheim Funkel beat Hoffenheim with a 2-1 score. It`s worth noting that the team has been conceding one goal a match on average this season. In their last three matches before the start of the new season Fortuna Dusseldorf had beaten TuS RW Koblenz with a 5-0 score in the 1/32-fimals fixture of the DFB Pokal, Benrath with a 13-0 score in a friendly fixture and had drawn against Fiorentina with a 1-1 score in a friendly fixture also.
Stuttgart and Fortuna Dusseldorf have faced each other only four times in history. The last two matches happened in the 2. Bundesliga. It is unlikely that the teams will score a lot in the upcoming fixture. The hosting side is far from their peak shape and the away side have been looking solid lately.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 goals scored.
