Game of fate for Fortuna: Is the coaching change under pressure?
On November 2nd, 2025, an exciting duel is on the agenda in the 2nd Bundesliga: Fortuna Düsseldorf welcomes 1. FC Kaiserslautern in the Merkur Spiel-Arena. The match starts at 1:30 p.m. and will be officiated by referee Lars Erbst. The game will be broadcast live and exclusively on Sky, where viewers can watch the game both in the individual game on Sky Sport Bundesliga 2 and in the conference on Sky Sport Bundesliga, Sky Sport Bundesliga 1 and Sky Sport Top Event. The conference broadcast starts at 1:00 p.m. A live stream is also available via SkyGo and WOW, but for a fee, as Goal reports.
Fortuna from Düsseldorf has struggled with major difficulties in the last few weeks. Five of the last six competitive games were lost and the team has not been able to collect any points since their only win in September. With currently 10 points from 10 games, Fortuna is only in 13th place in the table. The pressure on the team was recently increased by a change of coach: Markus beginning took over from Daniel Thioune. The team has suffered three defeats so far, the most recent being a 3-1 defeat against SC Freiburg in the cup.
FCK on course for promotion
In contrast, 1. FC Kaiserslautern is in stronger shape. With 19 points from 10 games, the Lautrers are currently in 5th place in the table and have thus moved close to the promotion places. The team has been unbeaten in four games and was able to reach the round of 16 in the DFB Cup with a 1-0 win against Greuther Fürth. The Palatinate's form curve is clearly pointing upwards, which indicates an exciting encounter.
Game statistics and duels
A look at the statistics suggests that fans can potentially expect a high-scoring game. At Fortuna Düsseldorf, 7 out of 10 games ended with more than 2.5 goals, and in 4 out of 5 matches both teams scored. The FCK can also point to similar numbers: 8 out of 10 games over 2.5 goals and 3 out of 5 games in which both teams were successful. The direct duels in the past also speak for an exciting match: in the last five encounters there were 2 wins for Düsseldorf and 3 for Kaiserslautern, without a draw. In addition, 4 out of 5 games ended with more than 2.5 goals and 4 out of 5 games in which both teams scored.
With these conditions, the game between Fortuna Düsseldorf and 1. FC Kaiserslautern promises a lot of excitement. While Fortuna urgently needs a win to get out of the table misery, FCK wants to continue its positive run. Who will have the upper hand in the end? The answer to this will be available on Sunday afternoon in the Merkur Spiel-Arena.
