THE PREDICTION
After a slow start to the season, a run of six wins in eight games has seen Fortuna Dusseldorf move up into the promotion picture. They did suffer a cup upset at fourth-tier Rot-Weiss Essen last time out, but that should not bother them too much with promotion back to the top flight their primary aim. That would also have been Paderborn’s target before the start of the campaign but they are lagging behind in mid-table, having taken just four points from their last five matches. Dusseldorf look in better fettle at the moment and should edge this battle of the relegated teams.
