Fortuna Dusseldorf v Dortmund Preview and Prediction

Date/Time: Tuesday 18^th December 2018 (Kick-off 7:30 PM)

On Tuesday night, Fortuna Dusseldorf host Dortmund in the Bundesliga, with the visitors looking to maintain their healthy lead at the top of the table.

Fortuna Dusseldorf have experienced a poor Bundesliga campaign so far and are currently 16^th place in the table, a point and place above the relegation zone.

An inconsistent recent run of form in the German top-flight has not helped their cause. A 2-o victory over Freiburg last time out at least ended a three-game run without a victory for the home side.

Dusseldorf have a poor recent home record, losing four of their last six league games on home soil. Their recent home games in the Bundesliga have been high scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in ten of their last 12 matches.
