Team News

Fortuna Duesseldorf
Paderborn
  • Two debuts are on the cards in the Fortuna Düsseldorf camp with Isak Bergmann Johannesson and Christos Tzolis both fancied to start here.
  • Defender Tim Oberdorf is back available, meaning Daniel Thioune has a fully-fit squad for the visit of Paderborn.
  • The home side will have to live without teenager Elione Fernandes-Neto, who has joined Austrian side RB Salzburg.
  • Lukas Kwasniok will be without star striker Max Kruse this weekend after he picked up an injury in the DFB-Pokal, so expect Felix Platte to lead the line here.
  • Defender Visar Musliu is suspended for the trip to the Merkur Spielarena.

Prediction

  • Fortuna Düsseldorf couldn't capitalise on a late Karol Mets red card two weeks ago as they were forced to settle for a point following a goalless draw against St. Pauli. Victory against FV Illertissen in the DFB-Pokal means that the home side are still unbeaten in all competitions ahead of Saturday's game.
  • Paderborn were on course for a well-earned three points against newly-promoted Osnabrück last time out before a late Florian Kleinhansl goal levelled the scoreline. A 7-0 DFB-Pokal win will do little to improve the mood if Lukas Kwasniok's side doesn't pick up their first league win of the season here.
