Team News

Fortuna Duesseldorf
Karlsruher SC
  • Daniel Thioune could make one change to the side that beat Darmstadt with Jona Niemiec replacing Danny Schmidt up top.
  • Vincent Vermeij, Nicolas Gavory and Jamil Siebert are all confirmed absentees for Fortuna Düsseldorf this weekend.
  • Christian Eichner will make a change to his midfield following a disastrous first half against Nürnberg. Expect Bambase Conte to start for the first time in Karlsruher colours.
  • Stefano Marino and Robin Bormuth will both miss the trip to the Merkur Spielarena through injury.

Prediction

  • Fortuna Düsseldorf made the most of a late Darmstadt red card to consolidate their lead and seal a 2-0 away victory on the opening weekend of the season.
  • Daniel Thioune's side are yet to replace the goal threat of Christos Tzolis, but have started well as they look to right the wrongs of last season's play-off heartbreak.
  • After half an hour against Nürnberg, Karlsruher's season looked to be getting off to a disastrous start.
  • However, Budu Zidzivadze scored in first-half stoppage time before adding another two goals in the second half as his hat-trick proved enough to overturn a 2-0 deficit and seal a memorable 3-2 comeback win.
