Below, you will find the team news, possible starting lineup, head-to-head statistics, interesting facts, betting tips, and odds.

Elversberg: form and statistics

Elversberg continued their fight to maintain their spot on the table or move to second place with a 3-1 win over Hannover 96 in their last game. They remain unbeaten in nine of their last ten games, including a 6-0 victory over Regensburg. They are also unbeaten in four of their previous five games in front of their home fans. They sit third on the table with 47 points in 29 games, scoring 54 goals and conceding 33. Numerous teams closely follow them, so they can afford to drop any points in this game if they are concerned about promotion with five games remaining in the season. They will still play Paderborn, Nurnberg, Braunschweig, and Schalke 04.

Elversberg: Lineup

Horst Steffen will still have to do without Patryk Dragon, Frederik Jakel, and Luca Schnellbacher in this clash due to injuries, and Lukas Petkov and Semih Sahin are also not available for selection due to accumulated yellow cards. However, Elversberg still has lots of players to fit in the 4-2–3-1 formation of the gaffer. Nicolas Kristof will continue his leadership in between the sticks, and Fisnik Asllani is expected to lead from the front.

Fortuna Düsseldorf: Form and statistics

Fortuna Düsseldorf are closely monitoring the situation on the table, and with the look of things, they are strong promotion contenders. They are 4th on the table with 47 points in 29 games, having scored 47 goals and conceded 42. They have the same point as their hosts and are five points behind league leaders Hamburger. Fortunen has won three of their last five games and are winless in five of their last six on the road.

Fortuna Düsseldorf: Lineup

Fortuna Düsseldorf currently have many players out due to injuries, but this won’t stop Daniel Thioune from picking another strong side, most likely the lineup that secured a 2-1 win over Paderborn in their last game. The gaffer will stick with the 3-4-2-1 formation and continue to put his faith in Danny Schmidt to score the necessary goals for the team.
