Our Prediction for Preussen Münster vs Fortuna Dusseldorf
The "Sparrows" have a long but modest history. Only a few years ago, they were playing at a semi-professional level. However, after advancing to 3. Liga in 2023, they immediately climbed another tier to 2. Bundesliga. Meanwhile, the "Red and Whites" missed their shot at promotion last season, failing in the playoff. Despite leading Bochum 3-0, they let the opposition mount a comeback and ultimately lost in a penalty shootout.
This season, the "95ers" are clearly aiming to avoid another playoff. Their strong start has placed them at the top of the current standings. For the newcomers, the journey has been challenging, with only one victory coming as late as the sixth round, followed by a recent 1-1 draw against Eintracht Braunschweig.
Preussen Münster averages 1.3 goals per match, but defensive struggles have resulted in nearly two goals conceded per game. Fortuna, by contrast, boasts a solid defense, conceding less than 0.8 goals per match. This has allowed them to make the most of a modest offense, averaging just over 1.5 goals per game.
