Braunschweig responds with its own attacks! Behrendt pulls from a good 25 meters and forces Kastenmeier to make a nice save in front of the right angle!

Immediately Fortuna becomes dangerous! The hosts intercept a first cross from Klaus. Shortly thereafter, Klaus is served himself, but fails from close range at the second post by Jasmin Fejzić!

In a great atmosphere, under the setting sun and under floodlights, the teams step onto the lawn of the Eintracht Stadium. It will not be long!

Braunschweig and Düsseldorf met regularly in the Bundesliga in the 70s and 80s, so there is a lot of tradition in this duel. Two years ago, both teams last played together in the 2nd Bundesliga. Both games ended in a draw: 0-0 in Braunschweig, 2-2 in Düsseldorf.
20:06
In the fortunes, Daniel Thioune only makes one change compared to the 2-2 win against Fürth. Daniel Ginczek has to give way on the offensive. With Felix Klaus, there is a little more speed in the Düsseldorf game.
19:59
Braunschweig have swallowed three goals recently and not scored a single one. Consequently, Michael Schiele changes both back and front: Philipp Strompf and Anton Donkor should strengthen the defensive, while Robin Krauße and starting XI debutant Anthony Ujah should cause a stir up front.
19:48
Fortuna, on the other hand, started well, winning in Magdeburg and at home against Paderborn. But here, too, reality struck afterwards. A narrow defeat followed in Sandhausen and a 2-2 draw against Fürth when Düsseldorf turned the game around only to swallow the equalizer. So today your own ambitions should be fed with a win again.

With the narrow advance against Hertha BSC in the DFB Cup, Braunschweig finally seemed to be riding the euphoric wave of promotion. However, immediate disillusionment followed in the league. Lower Saxony collected four defeats in a row and did not score a goal of their own. Most recently, they gave the previously victorious Kieler Schützenhilfe when they lost 0:3 in the far north.
19:31
Braunschweig wants the first points and welcomes promotion candidate Fortuna Düsseldorf for the top game of the 5th matchday. It starts at 8:30 p.m. Warm welcome!
