Nurnberg and Dusseldorf to Draw
While Dusseldorf is doing much better in Bundesliga 2 this season compared to Nurnberg who is currently in the relegation zone, it was Nurnberg who won their first duel this season.
Still, the guests are in better form right now and they have reasons to hope for a win. But Nurnberg will have the advantage of playing at home, so a draw sounds like the most realistic outcome for this duel.
Under 2.5 Total Goals
Four of the previous five head-to-head duels between Nurnberg and Dusseldorf have gone under 2.5 total goals, so our prediction is that we will see more of the same in this match.
In addition to this, Nurnberg averaged 2.26 goals per game in Bundesliga2 this season, which is the lowest average in the league. So, they obviously have a tendency to play low-scoring matches, which bodes well for our prediction.

Nurnberg
With just one win in the last six matches in Bundesliga 2, Nurnberg is currently sitting in the relegation zone and they will have to do much better in the remainder of the season if they want to stay up. On the bright side, a lot of other teams are close to them, so it seems that still early for panic at Nurnberg.
When it comes to team news, Nurnberg is dealing with many injuries right now, with Danny Blum, Jannes-Kilian Horn, James Lawrence, Erik Wekesser, Christian Mathenia, and Tim Handwerker all on the team's injury list.

Jensen – Nuernberger, Schindler, Huebner, Gyamerah – Daehli, Flick, Tempelmann, Castrop – Nischalke, Duah
Dusseldorf
In the last six games in Bundesliga 2, Fortuna Dusseldorf has three wins and three losses, so they've been a bit inconsistent recently. That being said, the team is currently in the sixth place in the standings, but also seven points behind Heidenheim, who's in third, which is a spot that leads to promotion playoffs.
Meanwhile, Matthias Zimmermann, Marcel Sobottka, Niko Vukancic, Kwadwo Baah, and Nicolas Gavory are all out with injuries at the moment.
Dusseldorf Predicted Lineup:
Kastenmeier – Michal Karbownik, de Wijs, Hoffmann, Karbownik – Tanaka, Hendrix – Peterson, Shinta Appelkamp, Klaus – Hennings

Player to Watch: Shinta Appelkamp
Given that this is a very close duel and that both teams are hoping to get to the next stage, there are more than a few players who could stand out in this match, but our choice is Shinta Appelkamp.
The German midfielder has been the creative motor behind Dusseldorf's results in Bundesliga 2 this season, where he notched five goals and five assists in nineteen appearances. So, Nurnberg will have to focus on Appelkamp in this match more than any other player.
