Good save!

The second good chance also favours Fortuna! Raimund is played through on the right side of the penalty area by a lovely switch of play. He tries to find the far corner but Weiner makes a good save.

Level playing field

After the big chance at the beginning, the match has flattened out and there have been no further attempts on goal.

Düsseldorf also forced to make a change

Rasmussen, who had the only chance in the match so far, can't continue. This means Fortuna also have to react early and bring on Ljubicic.

Tim Walter on facing Düsseldorf

"We're 16th and still need to pick up points. It's all about getting ourselves in a healthier position and applying more pressure on our opponents. I expect Düsseldorf to adopt a similar approach to Münster [last weekend], although they are likely to be more proactive with the ball. That might give us more opportunities to hit them on the counter-attack."

Markus Anfang on facing Kiel

"Tim Walter is known for his high-octane style and positional flexibility, which we need to be prepared for. As one of the teams relegated from the Bundesliga last season, Kiel also have a great deal of quality in their ranks. The most important thing for us, however, is to focus on ourselves."

Differing form

While Kiel have managed to collect four points in their last two matches under Tim Walter, Fortuna have lost three times in a row and conceded nine goals in the process.

More Kiel veterans at Fortuna

Emmanuel Iyoha played for Holstein in 2019/20, experiencing his best season in Bundesliga 2 with nine goals in 29 matches. He has scored just seven times in 128 second-tier matches for Düsseldorf.

Past meets present for Anfang

Markus Anfang led Holstein Kiel back to Bundesliga 2 in 2017 after 36 years, and as a newly promoted side only missed out on promotion to the top flight in the play-off against Wolfsburg. In May 2021, his Darmstadt side won 3-2 in Kiel on the final day of the season to knock Holstein out of the top two and miss out on automatic promotion.

Fortuna favouring Kiel

Kiel have lost only two of the 11 second division encounters against Düsseldorf (five wins, four draws). Both Fortuna victories came in the 2022/23 season, Shinta Appelkamp scoring in both the 2-1 away win and in the 3-0 victory at home.

2:14

Watch: Kaiserslautern 3-0 Düsseldorf - highlights

Fortuna are looking nervously over their shoulders at the relegation zone again after losing at Kaiserslautern. They're just two points above the bottom three following a run of three straight defeats.

2:13

Watch: Kiel 0-0 Preußen Münster - highlights

Kiel remain in the relegation play-off spot after drawing with bottom side Münster. The Storks are clear of the automatic drop zone and adrift of outright safety on goal difference, with six rounds of fixtures to go.

1:53

Watch: Kiel 1-0 Fortuna - previous meeting

Kasper Davidsen scored the only goal as Kiel scraped a win on home soil.
