Fortuna Dusseldorf desperately need points on Saturday, May 15 at 2:00 PM in the 3. Liga. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

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

History strongly favours RW Essen here — they've won 3 of 8 previous meetings against Fortuna Dusseldorf, with 5 draws. Their last encounter ended in RW Essen won 3–2.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives RW Essen a slight edge, but Fortuna Dusseldorf are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
