Paderborn vs Fortuna Dusseldorf Predictions

Struggling Paderborn are set to host Fortuna Dusseldorf for this Saturday’s German Bundesliga fixture. Paderborn have managed to secure just 1 point from their first 8 Bundesliga games of the season. They will hope to turn their fortunes around as they take on Fortuna Dusseldorf this Saturday. 

Fortuna are currently just 1 point above the relegation zone. However, Fortuna have shown far more quality and promise than Paderborn have this season. We feel that Fortuna are likely to make life difficult for Paderborn this weekend. 

Fortuna have taken just 7 points from their first 8 Bundesliga games. However, they have been involved in some closely contested games. They have lost by more than 1 goal on just 2 occasions this season. 

Fortuna will be coming into Saturday’s game with their confidence high. They managed to pick up their second win of the season last week versus Mainz. 

They will take on a Paderborn side who are still hoping to overcome an extended run of poor form. Paderborn have lost each of their last 5 games. On top of that, they have lost all 4 of their home games this season. We feel that they will struggle to pick up their first home point of the season this Saturday. 

We feel that both teams are likely to get on the score-sheet in this game. Paderborn have got the worst home defensive record in the Bundesliga. They have conceded 13 goals at the Benteler-Arena this season. They have conceded at least 4 more goals than any other team at home this season. 

They will be taking on a Fortuna side who have currently got the best away goal scoring record in the Bundesliga’s bottom 7. Fortuna have scored 6 goals in 4 away games. 

Paderborn are yet to keep their first clean sheet of the season. However, they have fared much better at the other end of the pitch. They have scored in all but one of their Bundesliga games. 

Meanwhile, Fortuna have scored in all 8 of their Bundesliga games this season, while they have kept just 1 clean sheet. 

We feel that both teams are likely to score in this game. However, we are also confident that Fortuna will outscore Paderborn. On top of Fortuna’s more impressive performances, Paderborn have conceded at least 2 goals in their last 5 games. 

We feel that both teams to score and a Fortuna win are both likely to occur in this game. 

There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 9 of Fortuna’s last 10 Bundesliga away games and on top of that, there have been over 2.5 goals scored in Paderborn’s last 5 games so we predict that a 2-1 win for Fortuna is a likely result of this game.
