Team News

Fortuna Duesseldorf
Karlsruher SC
  • Daniel Thioune will make just one change to the starting XI that hammered Elversberg last weekend with winger Christos Tzolis replacing Emmanuel Iyoha.
  • Midfielder Marcel Sobottka is the home side's only confirmed absentee for this game.
  • No changes are expected from Christian Eichner ahead of the trip to Merkur Spielarena this weekend.
  • Philip Heise and Jerome Gondorf both returned to action against Eintracht Braunschweig, meaning the visitors have just two injuries to contend with here.

Prediction

  • Fortuna Düsseldorf killed off their game against Elversberg inside the opening 15 minutes last weekend, scoring twice early on as they hammered the reigning 3. Liga champions 5-0 at URSAPHARM-Arena. Daniel Thioune's men have lost just one of their opening four league games ahead of the visit of Karlsruher.
  • Friday's visitors also head into this clash off the back of a win, beating Eintracht Braunschweig 2-0 with help from an early Jannis Nikolaou red card. Christian Eichner's men broke a run of back-to-back league games without a win with that result and head into this clash level on points with their hosts.
