THE PREDICTION

A huge relegation six-pointer takes place here at Merkur Spiel-Arena as 16^th-placed Fortuna Dusseldorf hosts 17^th-placed Erzgebirge Aue. With an eight-point lead over the visitors in the table, Fortuna know that whatever happens between these two sides, avoiding defeat is the priority, which would at least maintain that eight-point gap. Erzgebirge realistically need to win and have no choice but to push extra bodies forward whenever possible. Although this could lead to them finding success in front of goal, Fortuna will fancy their chances of exploiting the space afforded to them on the counter attack. With that in mind, both teams to score looks on the cards and should be backed as appropriate.
