Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

All things considered, our prediction for Friday's match is over 2.5 goals, meaning that we expect Dusseldorf and Nurnberg to score 3 goals or more combined during the traditional 90 minutes. 2 goals or less would mean a losing bet but, with statistics below suggesting there are goals in both sides, we think there's good reason to feel confident.

Goal Statistics

A PG of 2.0 is fairly strong for Fortuna Dusseldorf in their clash with FC Nurnberg, as is their run of scoring 1 goal or more in 29 consecutive Bundesliga 2 matches.

Fortuna Dusseldorf's defensive record is to be admired, D. Thioune's men having conceded 1 or less in 7 consecutive Bundesliga 2 outings. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.2 for FC Nurnberg makes sense in this context.
