THE PREDICTION

After a mixed start to the campaign following their relegation from the Bundesliga, Fortuna Dusseldorf appear to be improving with three wins in their last four games. Another one on Wednesday would take them above opponents Osnabruck and keep them in the mix at the upper end of the table. However, the visitors have been excellent on their travels this season, winning three - the most recent three - and drawing three of their six away league outings. All but one of those matches produced fewer than three goals, while Fortuna have kept a clean sheet in three of their five home matches this term, so this is likely to be a tight contest decided by the odd goal.
