Fortuna Dusseldorf return to action in the Bundesliga 2 with their clash against Werder Bremen at the Merkur Spiel-Arena. Both teams are hoping to be in the race to secure promotion to the top-tier this term. During the opening week in the second-tier, fifth-placed Fortuna Dusseldorf picked up three points following their 2-0 win over SV Sandhausen. Werder Bremen, who are eighth in the table, were held to a 1-1 draw by Hannover.

Rouwen Hennings netted a brace for Fortuna Dusseldorf during their opening week triumph over Sandhausen. The 33-year-old scored both his goals within the space of six second half minutes, with the second goal being a penalty. Although Fortuna Dusseldorf did not enjoy the lion’s share of possession during the meeting, they were largely untroubled and even registered more shots than their opponents.

In stark contrast, Werder Bremen dominated possession against Hannover but failed to register fewer attempts. Simon Falette’s own goal handed Werder Bremen the lead just after the half-time interval. However, the joy ended up being short-lived as Marvin Ducksch restored parity for Hannover just six minutes later. The result came as a blow for Werder Bremen, who were only relegated to the second-tier at the end of last season and should ideally be one of the favourites in the race for winning promotion. Despite the fact that it is still very early days in the league, both sides will know they can’t settle for anything less than three points.
