General match analysis

Both teams have won 3 of their last 5 matches, but Fortuna Düsseldorf conceded just 3 goals in that period, compared with 5 for Verl. The hosts’ biggest advantage lies in defence: at home, they concede an average of 1 goal per match and allow opponents chances worth 0.88 xG, while Verl concede 1.67 goals away from home, with opponents recording 1.79 xG. Fortuna have won 67% of their home matches, while Verl have won 33% of their away games, further tilting the balance in the hosts’ favour. The visitors can still pose a threat, however—they have scored in every away match so far and average 1.34 xG, compared with Fortuna’s 1.40 at home. With the quality of chances created broadly similar, a more solid defence and stronger home form give Fortuna a moderate edge.

View the statistical overview
BTTS - will both teams score?

BTTS occurred in 100% of Fortuna’s home matches and 67% of Verl’s away matches, supporting the case for both teams to score. Fortuna average 1.75 goals at home, while Verl concede 1.67 on the road, making a home goal highly likely. Fortuna, however, concede an average of 2.0 goals at home and have yet to keep a clean sheet there, although Verl score only 1.0 goal per away match. The last five matches call for caution: BTTS landed in 40% of Fortuna’s games and 60% of Verl’s, while the hosts conceded just 0.6 goals per match over that period. Despite this improvement in the hosts’ defence, the season-long data lean towards BTTS - Yes, though it is not a risk-free pick.

View BTTS statistics
Over/Under - goals analysis

Fortuna score an average of 1.75 goals and concede 2.00 at home, with at least two goals scored in each of those matches. Their attack is backed by an average xG of 2.00, while Verl allow opponents chances worth 1.79 xG per match. However, the case for higher goal lines is weaker: in the teams’ last five matches, only 40% ended with at least three goals, and Fortuna conceded an average of 0.6 goals in those games. Therefore, with a forecast of 2.70 goals, Over 1.5 goals is the safest pick, with an estimated probability of 76%.

View Over/Under statistics
HT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario

Verl have led at the break in all three of their away matches so far, while Fortuna have not gone into half-time in front in any of their last five games, making an away lead at half-time the most likely outcome. The prospect of Verl holding on to that advantage is supported by Fortuna conceding an average of 2.00 goals per home match, including 1.75 after the break. However, the 2/2 HT/FT pick is not a strong one: Verl are yet to score in the second half of any of their three away matches and have won only one of them. Fortuna average 1.00 second-half goal at home, while Verl concede 1.67 in that period, so a home turnaround remains a significant possibility.
