Command Analysis

Fortuna Duesseldorf

Current form
Fortuna does not give up trying to get into the first Bundesliga. The team finished in the top five last two seasons, and finished the last championship draw in third place, getting into the play-offs. Despite winning 3-0 in the first match, the team from Dusseldorf still lost the match, losing to Bochum with a score of 0:4 in the return match. Currently, the hosts occupy only the sixth place and are four points behind the top three. In 2025, Fortuna scored two wins and drew twice. Daniel Thione's team beat Karlsruhe (3:2) and Ulm (3:2), and went down with Darmstadt (2:2) and Hanover (1:1).

Emmanuel Joha, Dennis Jastrembski, Robert Kwasigroch and Marcel Sobottka will miss the match due to injuries.

- The hosts have not lost for five matches in a row.
Approximate composition: Kastenmaier - Heyer, Siebert, Oberdorf, Friedriksson - German, van Brederode, Zimmermann, Appelkamp, Quarteng - Kownatski

Hertha Berlin

Current form
Hertha failed to compete for a return to the Bundesliga last season, finishing only ninth in the second division of German football. The situation is similar now - the capital's team is only 13th in the standings and is far behind the leaders. At least the team is not in danger of relegation - the gap from the 16th Eintracht is still quite comfortable, seven points. Nevertheless, the fans clearly expected more from the "old lady". The new calendar year has not started well for Berliners. On January 19, they managed to score an away victory over Paderborn (2:1), but then three defeats in a row followed - from Hamburg (2:3), Regensburg (0:2) and Kaiserslautern (0:1).
Disqualifications and injuries
Diego Demme and Bilal Hussein will not play due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- The team lost three consecutive matches in the Second Bundesliga.
- The Berliners have failed to score in the last two matches.
Approximate line–up: Ernst – Kenny, Leistner, Dardai, Seefake - Clemens, Zessa - Kuisans, Maza, Scherkhant – Niederlechner.

2.10Tip and bets
The guests are not in the best shape right now, as evidenced by three consecutive defeats in the championship, and the last two were with a dry score. The hosts feel much better and regularly win. Fortuna still has a chance to catch on to the top three winners, but it is necessary to beat Hertha in order not to let the competitors go too far. We believe that the team from Dusseldorf will score three points on their own field.
Our forecast is that Fortuna will win in 2.17
Bet on the total
The hosts prefer to act from the attack, which is confirmed by the results of the team's recent matches. Fortuna regularly hits opponents' gates, but rarely keeps its gates dry. For sure, we will be playing on opposite courses today, so we should put more on the total.
Our forecast is a total of more than 2.5 goals in 1.58
Betting on corners
Most likely, the hosts will immediately seize the initiative in this match and will press on the opponent's goal for the entire 90 minutes. With such a game, the favorite is sure to win in almost all the main indicators, including the number of corners taken.
Our forecast is that Fortuna will win on corners in 2.02
