On Saturday, February 1, 2025, the Bundesliga.2 underdogs will travel to the “Merkur Spiel-Arena” for vital points that could save them from falling into the relegation zone. Our experts have analyzed both teams and prepared prediction for the match Fortuna Düsseldorf vs SSV Ulm 1846.
Fortuna Düsseldorf vs SSV Ulm: What to Expect
Fortuna Düsseldorf
The hosts are back on the list of promotion contenders. Fortuna is currently in seventh place and is only four points behind the first position.
The victory in the previous match, in which F95 defeated Karlsruher SC (2:3), another contender for the Bundesliga, helped to boost their confidence. What I liked most about this victory was that the team did not crumble after losing 2:0 after the first half, but rather showed a real will to win and scored three goals in response. This factor is also worth considering before making a Fortuna Düsseldorf vs SSV Ulm prediction.
SSV Ulm 1846
The guests are also in a good mood for the upcoming game, thanks to a 5:1 victory in the last round against Jahn Regensburg. This victory allows Ulm to currently occupy 16th place in the Bundesliga 2, with a two-point lead over Eintracht Braunschweig.
In general, the guests look like the best team among those fighting for survival, and all thanks to a well-organized defense, as the difference between goals scored and conceded by Thomas Wörle’s team is -1, while the difference between the closest competitors reaches -20. Such a defense can also directly affect the prediction for the match Fortuna Düsseldorf vs SSV Ulm 1846.
Düsseldorf vs Ulm: Head-to-Head
In the first round, Fortuna defeated Ulm 1:2, and before that, the teams met back in 2018, in the DFB-Pokal – and that’s it. Therefore, it will be pretty challenging to consider the history of the teams’ meetings with each other before making a prediction, because there were not many matches.
