Command Analysis

Fortuna Duesseldorf

Current Form
Fortuna competes in Germany's Second Bundesliga and has yet to shine with their results. At the season's outset, Daniel Thioune's squad was considered one of the main contenders for promotion. However, with 26 points, they currently sit in eighth place in the standings. The gap to at least third place is minimal—just two points.
Fortuna didn't end last year on a high note. A draw in the away match against Schalke (1:1) can be seen as a success, but the 2:5 home defeat to Magdeburg in the final game of 2024 is hard to justify. The Düsseldorf team clearly needs to improve their game if they want to compete for promotion.
Suspensions and Injuries
All players are available.
Interesting Betting Trends
- Fortuna struggles to win two consecutive matches
- The Düsseldorf team has scored in four consecutive games
Projected lineup: Kastenmeier – Oberdorf, Hoffmann, Siebert – Friedrichsson, Sobottka, Haag, Ioha, Johannesson, van Brederode – Kownacki.

Feyenoord

Current Form
Feyenoord has also fallen short of analysts' expectations, as the team was considered one of the main contenders for the championship title in the Netherlands before the season began. However, after 17 rounds, they trail the leading PSV by ten points. While making up a ten-point deficit seems unrealistic, competing for the second spot is quite possible, as Brian Priske's squad is only four points behind it, and just one point away from third place.
The team completely faltered in their last match of 2024, losing to PSV away with a significant 0-3 scoreline. This defeat ended their winning streak, which had lasted four consecutive matches, and their unbeaten run of nine games. The upcoming opponent is clearly not superior in terms of playing class, so the Dutch club has a chance to start a new winning streak.
Suspensions and Injuries
Hartman, Ueda, Carranza, Lotomba, and Smal are injured and will not take the field.
Interesting Betting Trends
- Feyenoord failed to score in only one of their last ten matches
- The Dutch club lost just one of their last nine encounters
Projected lineup: Wellenreuther – Nieuwkoop, Belen, Hancko, Bueno – Timber, Hwang, Milambo – Stengs, Jimenez, Hadj Moussa.

1.80Tip and bets
Both teams boast a strong offensive lineup. Neither side tends to linger in their penalty area. This is unlikely to change in a friendly match, where the focus is typically on honing attacking skills rather than solid defensive play. Fortuna has failed to score in only one of their last six matches, while Feyenoord has been kept off the scoresheet only by the Dutch league leaders, PSV, in their last 11 games. Based on these stats, we predict that there will be no zeros on the scoreboard at the final whistle.
Our prediction is both teams to score with odds of 1.60
Bet on the Outcome
No matter how hard Fortuna tries, they are still far from the level of their upcoming opponent. Feyenoord competes against top-tier teams both in the national league and the Champions League, leading us to conclude that the Dutch club will secure a victory in this matchup, despite it being a friendly match.
Our prediction is a win for Feyenoord with odds of 1.81
Bet on Corners
On average, Fortuna takes 6.1 corners per match, while Feyenoord averages 5.6. Adding these figures together, we anticipate that the opponents will deliver a significant number of corner kicks.
Our prediction is over 9.5 corners with odds of 1.77
