Team News

Fortuna Duesseldorf
Eintracht Braunschweig
  • Tim Oberdorf broke his ribs in the 2-1 defeat to Greuther Fürth last weekend and will be sidelined for a while so expect young defender Benjamin Böckle to make a rare start at right-back.
  • Jordy de Wijs is suspended after he was sent off last Saturday.
  • Midfielder Jorrit Hendrix and striker Kristoffer Peterson are expected to start after the duo made a significant impact from the bench last time out.
  • Immanuel Pherai and Nathan De Medina have both served their one-match suspensions but Jannis Nikolau will serve his on Friday after he picked up his fifth yellow card of the season last weekend.
  • Expect Nathan De Medina to return to the starting XI on Friday, while recalls are also on the cards for Maurice Multhaup and Lion Lauberbach.

Prediction

  • Fortuna Düsseldorf mounted a late comeback against Greuther Fürth last weekend but couldn't recover any points in a 2-1 defeat at Sportpark Ronhof-Thomas Sommer. Daniel Thioune's side will be delighted to be back at home following three straight defeats on their travels.
  • Like their hosts, Eintracht Braunschweig was forced to launch a comeback of their own last weekend but Michael Schiele's men couldn't overcome Holstein Kiel's three-goal advantage. Only two teams (6) have picked up fewer points on the road than the visitors this season (7).
