THE PREDICTION

Fortuna Dusseldorf looked like they might make a push for promotion in December and January, but four points from their last five games has faded those hopes. Uwe Rosler’s men have only lost once at home this season, but they face a Nurnberg side who have won two on the bounce on the road. The visitors look set to be missing two of their key attacking players for this one, though, while top scorer Manuel Schaffler has gone six games without a goal. Both teams are difficult to predict at the moment but Fortuna have generally reacted well to defeats this term and at home, they should be fancied to return to winning ways on Sunday.
