THE PREDICTION
Four wins in their last five games have put Fortuna Dusseldorf within touching distance of the promotion play-off spot and they will be looking to heap more pressure on their rivals on Saturday. Opponents Eintracht Braunschweig currently occupy the play-off place at the wrong end of the table, so three points would be huge for both of these sides. The visitors have won just one of their last seven matches and also failed to score in five of those, leaving them as the lowest scorers in Bundesliga 2. Fortuna have generally not had many problems against the teams near the bottom this season and having kept a clean sheet in the reverse fixture, they can win and keep another one here.
