Fortuna Dusseldorf vs Bochum
Germany – 2. Bundesliga
Date: Monday, 22 March 2021
Kick-off at 19:30 UK/ 20:30 CET
Venue: Merkur Spiel-Arena.
Die Unabsteigbaren are the toppers of the table, and the potential champions of the competition. More than the league title, what would be motivating them would be the chance to secure a promotion to the German top flight.
With nine games remaining in the campaign, the team has a lead of two points over the the second-placed Hamburger.
As is known, it’s not really a safe lead, and the team is under pressure to continue performing at the highest level moving forward.
Meanwhile, Flingeraner are on a terrific run, and are chasing a spot in the top-three, in order to secure an entry into the playoffs. As things stand, they need a surplus of six points to climb to the podium spots.
Both these teams are offensively in form, and are determined to go after the win.
Likely, expect goals in plenty this Monday.
Flingeraner had scored three or more goals in five of their past eight home appearances, and they had also won ten of their last fourteen games at this ground. Note that they are also on a furious run to qualify for the playoffs.
On the other hand, their counterparts had won four of their last six overall games, and had scored two or more goals in these four match-ups. Moreover, they had also scored two or more goals in eight of their past thirteen road trips.
Finally, they are also the toppers, and are determined to get to the Bundesliga at any cost.
By the looks of things, expect a high-scoring affair this weekend at the Merkur Spiel-Arena.
