On February 28, the Merkur Spiel-Arena will host a Bundesliga 2 clash between Fortuna Düsseldorf and Greuther Fürth as part of the 24th round. For this match, we suggest betting on goals, cards, or the winner.
Fortuna Düsseldorf
The team has not made headlines in recent years. Even managing to spend two consecutive seasons in the Bundesliga was a remarkable achievement, though that was some time ago. They had another chance to return to the top tier last season but fell short. Despite finishing third and winning the first leg of their promotion playoff against Bochum, they ultimately lost the tie and remained in the second division.
That painful setback did not seem to affect Daniel Thioune and his squad negatively. On the contrary, it initially provided motivation. However, from October onwards, their performances were inconsistent. The team only managed to bounce back in 2025, though they could not secure more than a 1-1 draw against Köln.
Greuther Fürth
The club earned promotion to the Bundesliga in both 2012 and 2021, but both campaigns ended in relegation due to poor results. Following each relegation, they struggled, finishing as low as 12th in one of the recent seasons. Last year, they finished eighth.
Currently, Jan Siewert’s side is in a slump. They are losing more often than they are winning in this campaign. However, February saw some improvement, with victories over Paderborn and Jahn Regensburg boosting their league position. That resurgence was short-lived, as they suffered a 0-2 defeat to Elversberg. They did manage a commanding 3-0 victory against Eintracht Braunschweig afterward.
