Fortuna Düsseldorf and Verl go into this match level on 10 points from 7 games, and both are coming off a defeat in their most recent outing. The hosts lost at home 0-1, while the visitors lost 0-2 in a friendly, so this game is a chance for both sides to rediscover their rhythm, with their overall records very evenly matched. Fortuna Düsseldorf have won 3 of their last 5 league games, but most of those wins were by a single goal, and their attack is not particularly fearsome compared with the number of goals they have scored all season. Verl have also won 3 of their last 5 league games, but they are a team that scores more and opens up more, especially in the first half away from home, where over their last 6 games Verl have not conceded at all in the opening 45 minutes. This game is likely to see the hosts taking the initiative and pushing forward, because they are at home and need a win to climb the table, while Verl are likely to sit in a block and wait for the chance to counter at speed. If the hosts still cannot break them down as in their last match, the game is all the more likely to end evenly, and the visitors have a real chance of taking points home.
