Borussia Dortmund vs Fortuna Dusseldorf Prediction
Borussia Dortmund are currently sixth in the league, and have won three of their last five league games. They are five points behind second-placed Freiburg, and manager Edin Terzic is under immense pressure to get things right during the second half of the season.
Sacking Marco Rose and appointing Terzic was seen as a sensible decision, given Terzic's successful stint as interim manager of the club. However, the former West Ham United assistant has struggled to get his side going. Erling Haaland's departure has obviously been a huge factor, but Borussia Dortmund are not the sixth-best side in the league by any standards.
Fortuna Dusseldorf, on the other hand, are seventh in the 2. Bundesliga. Keen Premier League fans will recognise Michal Karbownik, who is at the club on loan from Brighton & Hove Albion. They also have some other recognizable names; midfielder Jorrit Hendrix is a Netherlands international who represented the likes of PSV Eindhoven, while midfielder Ao Tanaka was named in Japan's World Cup squad.
We expect Borussia Dortmund to win here.
