FORTUNA DUSSELDORF
Fortuna Düsseldorf had a 1-0 lead with 68 minutes local rivals Borussia M'gladbach last Sunday before eventually losing 2-1, their third loss in four games.
The coach Friedhelm Funkel is likely to have the same team available last weekend, with Oliver Fink and Markus Suttner twice excluded after missing the trip to Gladbach.
Marcel Sobottka is back in full training, but it remains to be seen whether it will be included in the team, while Dawid Kownacki became a permanent Fortuna player this week after a clause in his loan contract was triggered.
Predicted line-up (4-2-3-1): Steffen; Zimmermann, Ayhan, Adams, Giesselmann; Bodzek Baker; Thommy, Karaman Kownacki; Hennings
Not available: Rensing (injured), Stoger (injured), Barkok (injured), Morales (injured), Fink (injured), Suttner (injured)
Doubtful: Sobottka (Hurt), Wolf (Injured)
FREIBURG
FREIBURG im Breisgau had to settle for a point at home to Augsburg on Saturday, but they remain in the first four to enter the facilities of this weekend and have won two away games.
The coach Christian Streich will be without captain Mike Frantz, who suffered an injury to the adductor against Augsburg, so Jannik Haberer is likely to return in the center of midfield.
Winger Florian Kath is a doubt, but the central defender Manuel Gulde is fit again, although both are fringe players who are not featured this season.
Predicted line-up (3-4-3): Schwolow; Lienhart, Koch Heintz; Schmid, Haberer, Hofler, Gunter; Holer, Petersen Grifo
Not available Frantz (Hurt), Flekken (Hurt), Terrazzino (Injured)
Doubtful: Kath (Hurt)
Fortuna Dusseldorf vs Freiburg Prediction
The visiting team scored three goals against their opponents in each of the previous three league wins this season. Moreover, they scored 11 goals in their five league games.
Even if visitors have registered 7 goals in the same period, they can not be entrusted to the slot in too many goals. Because Freiburg conceded only four goals in the league so far. Thus, we can expect to score goals in ninety minutes, and most of the guest.
Taking into account the current performance in the league, most favored side is the side trip. Alongside that, we must also consider their H2H meetings in the past. Of these, the host is unbeaten in two seasons against Freiburg.
However, the side is still unbeaten visiting the league so it is best to bet a double opportunity for the visiting contingents. As such, we can see more likely a match with the guest to try to repeat their 2015 clash memories.
Fortuna Dusseldorf vs Freiburg betting tips
Over 2.5 goals @ 1.66 (4/6)
Double chance: Draw or Freiburg @ 1.57 (4/7).
