Fortuna Dusseldorf welcome RW Essen on Saturday, Dec 19 at 2:00 PM in a 3. Liga fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.
Fortuna Dusseldorf come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 1D 2L). RW Essen, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 2D 1L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.
Despite playing at home, Fortuna Dusseldorf face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. RW Essen have won 3 of 8 encounters, with 5 draws. Their last encounter ended in Fortuna Dusseldorf won 2–3.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Fortuna Dusseldorf a slight edge, but RW Essen are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
