Fortuna Dusseldorf vs Hertha Berlin Predictions

• Fortuna Dusseldorf have scored under 1.5 goals in five of their last six German Bundesliga home games.
• Hertha Berlin have conceded under 1.5 goals in six of their last eight German Bundesliga away games.
• Hertha Berlin have won each of their last three German Bundesliga away games.
• Fortuna Dusseldorf have lost four of their last six German Bundesliga home games.

Fortuna Dusseldorf have been poor in front of goal lately

Fortuna Dusseldorf will host Hertha Berlin in this Friday’s German Bundesliga fixture. Fortuna will hope to earn a second straight Bundesliga victory in this game, while Hertha Berlin will attempt to bounce back from last weekend’s disappointing loss. We feel that Fortuna may struggle to score many goals in Friday’s game, given their poor goalscoring record of late.

Fortuna have also scored under 1.5 goals in 10 of their last 12 German Bundesliga fixtures. Furthermore, Fortuna have also scored under 1.5 goals in five of their last six German Bundesliga home games. Fortuna have scored a total of just eight goals in their last 12 Bundesliga fixtures. Only Werder Bremen have scored fewer goals than Fortuna over the last 12 Bundesliga games.

In addition to that, Fortuna are currently the Bundesliga’s lowest goalscorers for the 2019/20 season. They have scored just 23 goals in their 23 Bundesliga games this season, which is two goals fewer than the second-lowest scorers in the Bundesliga have managed to bag this season. 

Hertha Berlin haven’t conceded many away from home recently

While Fortuna have been poor going forward in recent weeks, their opponents this Friday, Hertha Berlin, have also been difficult to put too many goals past away from home in recent weeks. 

Hertha Berlin have conceded under 1.5 goals in six of their last eight German Bundesliga away games. Furthermore, Hertha have conceded just 17 goals in their 11 Bundesliga away games this season, which is at least four goals fewer than any other team currently sitting in the bottom half of the Bundesliga have conceded away from home this season. 

Hertha have also conceded just 10 goals in their last eight Bundesliga away games. This gives them the second-best away defensive record in the Bundesliga over the past eight away games. Only Hoffenheim have conceded fewer away goals than Hertha in that time. 

Hertha may earn three points from this game

Neither of these two teams have been enjoying a particularly impressive run of form lately. However, we feel that Hertha Berlin may look slightly more convincing than Fortuna going into this game. 

Hertha have been enjoying a spell of good form away from home in recent weeks. They have won each of their last three Bundesliga away games. Meanwhile, Fortuna have failed to win five of their last six Bundesliga home games, losing four. Furthermore, Hertha have earned four more points in their 11 Bundesliga away games this season than Fortuna have earned in their 11 Bundesliga home games so far.

We feel that Fortuna may struggle to score too many goals in Friday’s fixture. We are backing Fortuna to score under 1.5 goals in this one. 

Furthermore, While Fortuna have been low scoring lately, they have scored at least one goal in each of their last four Bundesliga games, while Hertha have kept just one clean sheet in their last six Bundesliga games. Hertha have won their last two Bundesliga away games by a 2-1 scoreline. We feel that a 2-1 win for Hertha may be a likely result of this game.
