Fri 17th Jan, 17:30 BST, Merkur Spiel-Arena, Dusseldorf

Daniel Thioune and Florian Kohfeldt take on one another in the Bundesliga 2 on Friday evening, as Fortuna Dusseldorf face SV Darmstadt 98 at the Merkur Spiel-Arena. You'll see statistics supporting our top of over 2.5 goals below, but don't forget to explore 16 other betting markets we're covering too.

Finally, be sure to get the best odds and bet smart.


Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

Both our prediction and odds from the bookies suggest that this Bundesliga 2 showdown will be on for the neutrals, with at least 3 goals to scored in the fixture. As we don't have an obvious winner here given their latest form, we're going with the stats and past head-to-head (H2H) records below, both of which point strongly towards over 2.5 goals being the best bet here.
