Schweinfurt vs Düsseldorf Prediction – German Cup

The visiting team is also gearing up for their first match in this DFB Pokal edition with aspirations of a successful outcome away from home. Düsseldorf tends to excel in their home fixtures, but their away record over the last 30 games stands at 2 wins, 7 draws, and 6 losses, compared to 7 wins, 3 draws, and 5 losses at home. They enter this match following a home defeat against Hannover 96 (0-2). In their last 10 matches across all competitions, Düsseldorf has secured 2 wins, 3 draws, and 5 losses, conceding goals in 9 of those outings, indicating a defensive improvement is necessary. However, their offence remains reliable, as they scored in 8 of their last 10 matches. There has been a tendency for high-scoring games in their away matches, with 18 of the last 21 fixtures seeing over 1.5 goals. In 15 games, they conceded the first goal 6 times and turned the score around only once. Notably, in their last 3 away games, they conceded 3 of their 6 goals during the last 15 minutes (76’–90′).

Düsseldorf enters this encounter following a defeat of 0-2 against Hannover 96 in a Bundesliga 2 match. They typically utilise a 4-3-3 tactical system, emphasising brisk transitions, particularly through the flanks. Key players in the attack include Christian Rasmussen, Cedric Itten, and Julian Hettwer, responsible for creating threats in the final third. Unfortunately, they will be without injured players Christopher Lenz, King Manu, Emmanuel Iyoha, and Florian Schock for this match.
