German football fans — Dusseldorf could be a dark place this evening

"Fortuna have won only 2/12 hosting teams from outside the bottom two"

Back Hansa Rostock +0.5 on the Asian Handicap v Fortuna Dusseldorf @ 2.0811/10

Tobias Gourlay's headed to Germany for a Bundesliga 2 match that might not be as straightforward as it seems for Fortuna Dusseldorf

Fortuna Dusseldorf v Hansa Rostock
Friday 17:30

Yesterday's bet was on an Aussie A-League match that's only just about to kick-off - and the price has only got better since we wrote the preview...

Today we're in Germany for the Bundesliga 2 clash between 13th-placed Fortuna Dusseldorf and 11th-placed Hansa Rostock. The hosts are odds-on favourites but we've found reasons to believe the visitors can at least avoid defeat this evening.

Fortuna have won 3/4 at the Merkur Spiel-Arena, but two of those wins came against the bottom two teams in the league. Against everyone else this term, Daniel Thioune's men have won only 2/12.

Promoted Hansa on a winning streak of four home and away. On the road, they are W6-D4-L4 - with all four defeats coming against teams now in the top six. Fortuna are not at that level, so we'll take the odds-against price on Hansa to avoid defeat this evening.
