Fortuna Dusseldorf vs Paderborn Predictions

• Fortuna Dusseldorf have seen both teams score in five of their last six German Bundesliga fixtures.
• Paderborn have seen both teams score in five of their last six.
• Fortuna Dusseldorf have lost just one of their last six.
• Paderborn have lost five of their last six.

Fortuna have been reliable in front of goal lately

Fortuna Dusseldorf will host Paderborn this Friday in German Bundesliga action. Fortuna will hope to earn an important win from this Friday’s six-pointer. Fortuna’s recent goalscoring form may give them confidence going into this game. 

Fortuna have scored at least one goal in each of their last six Bundesliga fixtures, including each of their last three Bundesliga home games. Furthermore, Fortuna have scored a total of nine goals over their last six Bundesliga games. Cologne are the only side currently sitting in the bottom half of the Bundesliga table who have scored more goals than Fortuna in that time. 

In addition, Fortuna have failed to score in just three of their 12 Bundesliga home games this term. We feel Fortuna may fancy their chances of getting on the scoresheet in this one versus a Paderborn side who have conceded a total of 54 goals, giving them the Bundesliga’s second-worst defensive record for the 2019/20 campaign. 

Paderborn have also been scoring consistently of late

While Fortuna may fancy their chances of scoring in this one, we feel their upcoming opponents Paderborn may also cause some problems for them at the other end of the pitch. 

Paderborn have scored at least one goal in eight of their last nine Bundesliga fixtures. Furthermore, Friday’s visitors have failed to score in just four of their 12 Bundesliga away games this season. 

We feel Paderborn’s consistency in front of goal makes them look quite convincing to get themselves on the scoresheet in their upcoming Bundesliga fixture, against a Fortuna side who have kept just one clean sheet in their last 15 Bundesliga games. 

Fortuna have been in better form than Paderborn lately

Fortuna will come into this Friday’s game off the back of a more positive run of form than Paderborn. Fortuna have lost just one of their last six Bundesliga games, earning a total of seven points in that time. Fortuna currently sit promisingly in ninth place in the Bundesliga’s form table for the past six games. 

Meanwhile, Paderborn have struggled to put points on the board in recent weeks. They have lost five of their last six Bundesliga games going into Friday’s fixture, earning just one point during that time, which is the joint-lowest points total that has been accumulated by any Bundesliga side over the last six games and six fewer points than Fortuna have earned in that time. 

We feel both of these teams may look likely to get on the scoresheet in their upcoming Bundesliga game. We are backing both teams to score in this one. Paderborn have conceded at least two goals in five of their last six Bundesliga games. We are also backing a 2-1 win for the hosts in Friday’s fixture.
