Dusseldorf vs Bochum Prediction: Fortuna Dusseldorf will host AFL Bochum for the second leg of the Bundesliga Relegation Playoffs tonight at Merkur Spiel Arena.

While Bochum currently dropped their performances recently, as Daniel Thioune’s side will play under pressure in this second leg, will try to turn the table as it seems quite impossible.

DUS vs BOC Team Previews
Fortuna Dusseldorf Team Preview:
- Following their third-place performance in the 2. Bundesliga, Fortuna Dusseldorf were relegated to the promotion/relegation playoffs after failing to secure one of the two automatic promotion positions.
- The 16th-placed Bundesliga team, VfL Bochum, faced off against them. Daniel Thioune’s squad won the first leg 3-0 against Bochum.
- With an amazing run of 14 games without a loss, Fortuna Düsseldorf became victorious in the championship division.
VfL Bochum Team Preview:
- Bochum had great expectations going into the playoffs, but they only finished 16th in the regular season due to a goal differential; a defeat from here would send them to the Bundesliga 2nd division.
- Bochum suffered its third consecutive loss across all competitions following the opening leg’s defeat. The visitors’ lack of ability to win games is evident in the fact that they have only been able to win two of their past 13 games, along with two more draws.
- Since Bernardo received his tenth caution of the season, the visitors will not be able to choose him. Moritz Kwarteng, Michael Esser, Mohammed Tolba, Philipp Forster, and Danilo Soares are among the other players sidelined by injury.
