Wolfsburg vs Fortuna Dusseldorf Predictions

• Fortuna Dusseldorf have lost five of their last seven Bundesliga fixtures. 
• Fortuna Dusseldorf have lost seven of their 10 Bundesliga away games this season.
• Wolfsburg have scored at least one goal in eight of their 10 Bundesliga home games.
• Fortuna have failed to score in six of their last nine Bundesliga fixtures. 

Fortuna’s poor form and poor away record

Fortuna Dusseldorf will travel to face Wolfsburg this Saturday in German Bundesliga action. Wolfsburg will hope to build on last weekend’s win versus Fortuna this weekend. They will be encouraged going into this weekend’s game by Fortuna’s poor form in recent weeks, as well as their poor Bundesliga away record this season. 

Fortuna have won just one of their last 10 German Bundesliga fixtures. In addition to that, Saturday’s visitors have failed to win each of their last nine Bundesliga away games. 

Fortuna have won just one of their 10 Bundesliga away games this season. That one away win came on the opening day of the 2019/20 Bundesliga season, versus Werder Bremen. They have lost a total of seven of their nine Bundesliga away games since that opening day win. This gives them the Bundesliga’s worst away record. 

Fortuna’s poor goalscoring form

In addition to their recent struggles in terms of results, Fortuna have also struggled in front of goal in recent weeks. They have worryingly failed to score in six of their last nine Bundesliga games going into this Saturday’s fixture. They have scored just four goals over the last eight Bundesliga games. This is the Bundesliga’s worst goalscoring record in that time.

On top of that, Fortuna have failed to score in each of their last three Bundesliga away games. Furthermore, they have scored just 10 goals in their 10 games away from home this season. Only one other Bundesliga side have scored fewer away goals than Fortuna this season. 

Wolfsburg have been more reliable in front of goal than Fortuna of late

We feel that Wolfsburg’s recent form in front of goal may give them an edge over Fortuna in Saturday’s game. Wolfsburg have failed to score in just one of their last six Bundesliga games going into Saturday’s fixture. Furthermore, Wolfsburg have scored at least one goal in eight of their 10 Bundesliga home games this season. 

Over the past eight games in which Fortuna have scored just four goals, Wolfsburg have scored 11 goals. This gives them a goalscoring record almost three times the size of Fortuna’s over the past eight-game period. 

Wolfsburg will also be encouraged by Fortuna’s poor defensive record in recent weeks. Fortuna have conceded 18 goals in their past eight Bundesliga games. Only Werder Bremen have conceded more goals than Fortuna in that time. Fortuna have also conceded 25 goals away from home this season. Only two sides have a worse away defensive record than them, at present. 

Fortuna’s poor form, as well as Wolfsburg’s consistent goalscoring form, may give Wolfsburg the edge here. We are backing a Wolfsburg win in this game. 

Fortuna have conceded over 1.5 goals in eight of their last nine Bundesliga away games. Meanwhile, Wolfsburg have failed to score over 2.5 goals in any of their Bundesliga home games this season. We feel that a 2-0 win for Wolfsburg may be a likely result of this game.
