Fortuna Dusseldorf desperately need points on Saturday, Oct 24 at 2:00 PM in the 3. Liga. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Hansa Rostock come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 1D 0L). Fortuna Dusseldorf travel out of form (1W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Despite playing at home, Hansa Rostock face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Fortuna Dusseldorf have won 8 of 10 encounters. Their last encounter ended in Hansa Rostock won 0–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 4.0 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: The gulf in league position makes Hansa Rostock clear favorites, but Fortuna Dusseldorf have shown they can grind out results. Expect Hansa Rostock to take the points, potentially without being at their best.
