• Kaiserslautern have lost just one of their last 10 competitive games.
• Fortuna Dusseldorf have won just one of their last 10 competitive games.
• Fortuna Dusseldorf have failed to score in six of their last nine competitive games.
• Kaiserslautern have scored at least two goals in four of their last six competitive home games.

Fortuna Dusseldorf’s poor run of form

3. Liga side Kaiserslautern will host the Bundesliga’s Fortuna Dusseldorf this Tuesday in the DFB Pokal third round. Kaiserslautern will have to overcome a side playing two tiers above them if they are to progress in this season’s competition. However, Fortuna’s recent lack of form will give the home side encouragement going into Tuesday’s game.

Fortuna Dusseldorf have managed to win just one of their last 10 competitive games. In addition to that, Fortuna have been quite poor away from home this season. They have failed to win any of their last nine competitive away games. 

Furthermore, Fortuna have not fared particularly well at this stage of the DFB Pokal in recent history. They have failed to progress past the third round in any of the last 10 seasons. We feel that Fortuna’s recent form and poor history in this competition makes them an unconvincing choice to win Tuesday’s game. 

Kaiserslautern’s positive run of form

In contrast to Fortuna, Kaiserslautern have been enjoying a positive run of form, of late. Tuesday’s hosts have lost just one of their last 10 competitive games. In addition to that, Kaiserslautern have been difficult to beat at home lately. They have lost just two of their last 12 competitive home games. 

In addition to that, Kaiserslautern have progressed farther than Fortuna in this competition in recent years. While Fortuna have failed to progress past the DFB Pokal’s third round in any of the last 10 seasons, Kaiserslautern made it to the competition’s fourth round in 2014. 

Kaiserslautern lost just five of their last 18 DFB Pokal games in 90 minutes. Furthermore, two of those five losses came versus Bayern Munich. Meanwhile, Fortuna have won just four of their last 11 DFB Pokal games in 90 minutes. 

We feel that Kaiserslautern’s recent form, as well as their recent history in the DFB Pokal will encourage them going into this Tuesday’s game. 

Fortuna have struggled in front of goal recently, while Kaiserslautern have impressed at the back

Fortuna have not been particularly impressive going forward in recent weeks. They have failed to score in six of their last nine competitive games. Furthermore, they have also failed to score in each of their last three competitive away games. 

This doesn’t bode well for Fortuna going into this Tuesday’s game versus a Kaiserslautern side who have kept a clean sheet in each of their last three competitive home games. 

In contrast to Fortuna’s poor goalscoring form, Kaiserslautern have scored at least two goals in four of their last six competitive home games. This will also encourage Tuesday’s hosts, as visitors Fortuna have conceded at least two goals in eight of their last nine competitive home games. 

We feel that recent form suggests that Kaiserslautern may stand a good chance of earning a result from this Tuesday’s game. We are backing Kaiserslautern double chance in this one. We also feel that the recent goalscoring form of these two suggests that a 2-0 win for Kaiserslautern may be a likely result of this game.
