Opposition Focus

Dusseldorf has been in fine form since the resumption of football. They find themselves in the 16th position, but few good performances in the upcoming gameweeks will elevate them to a higher position in the table.

The game against Bayern will be a free hit for Dusseldorf. Anything positive from this game will be a big bonus for them in their bid to stay in the Bundesliga. The visitors have not been solid defensively, but they can frustrate any team when they go ahead. A compact structure is likely to be their approach to suffocate Die Roten’s forwards and full-backs.

Rouwen Hennings will be the main man for Dusseldorf on Saturday. The German forward has 12 goals to his name in the Bundesliga. He needs to be efficient in this game since Dusseldorf is unlikely to get many chances against Rekordmeister.

Erik Thommy and Kevin Stoger will be other key players for Die Roten. Stoger will have to work hard in midfield to win the ball higher up the pitch, while Thommy will have to provide the right kind of service for Hennings in the box. Die Roten are clear favorites, but Dusseldorf have enough in their arsenal to cause an upset.

Score Prediction

Bayern Munich 3-0 Fortuna Dusseldorf

The visitors have been in fine form, but it will take something special to stop Bayern Munich at the moment. Flick’s men are getting better with every passing game, so they are more likely to make it four wins in a row this month on Saturday with a comfortable victory against Dusseldorf.
