Fortuna Düsseldorf and Saarbrücken last met in March 2020, a 1-1 draw. So many years have passed that almost nothing remains from that match. Both teams have changed in different ways, and now they sit 6th and 5th in the table with 14 points each from 9 matches. Fortuna Düsseldorf just won 2-1 in their last match, and at home in the first half they have seen goals in 4 of 6 matches, though they have rarely led at half-time. Meanwhile, Saarbrücken just lost 2-4, the only one of their last five matches in which they lost by more than one goal. The visitors' attack clearly produces more goals, scoring 21 from 9 matches compared to the hosts' 10. The thing to watch from kick-off is Saarbrücken's first half away from home. They average 1.33 first-half goals and have led at half-time in 3 of 6 matches. If the hosts let the visitors strike first, the game becomes hard work immediately. But if Fortuna Düsseldorf control the early tempo and play the way they like, the game should flow in the direction the hosts dictate.
