Eintracht Braunschweig vs Fortuna Dusseldorf
2. Bundesliga
Date: 15th December 2017
Kick off at 17:30 UK / 18:30 CET
Venue: Eintracht-Stadion (Braunschweig).

Fortuna Dusseldorf could not arrest their slump when they hosted Nurnberg in the last clash of the previous round on Monday (0-2 defeat at home).

They are now to open the 18th round in 2. Bundesliga on Friday evening at Eintracht-Stadion against the mid-table Braunschweig side.

Eintracht Braunschweig

The Lions have had a rollercoaster campaign so far in the season, but the head coach Torsten Lieberknecht can generally be satisfied with his team’s current spell of form.

Braunschweig showed stern defense in keeping their net untouched against the likes of Ingolstadt and Holstein Kiel in last two league outings.

Fortuna Dusseldorf

Maintaining such form should not be a mission impossible for them on Friday even though Fortuna still sit third in the league ladder.

The visitors are winless in last eight matches in all competitions and they have ruined all the good work they had done at the very start of the season.

Friedhelm Funkel’s men clearly have massive issues at the back since they have leaked in two or more goals in four of their last five league fixtures.

Eintracht Braunschweig vs Fortuna Dusseldorf: Head to head

The hosts have a chance to make it all square at 15 wins, draws and losses for each of the teams with a potential victory on Friday.

The two sides met each other on the opening day of the new 2. Bundesliga season and their clash offered a four-goal thriller which ended with no winner at ESPRIT arena in late-July.

Even though Fortuna are by no means an easy opposition, we believe the hosts have what it takes to take advantage of the momentum and pick up a precious victory in front of their crowd on Friday.
