Prediction
In our opinion, Elversberg will, in all likelihood, stay in control for long periods of time and should be able to convert a few of the chances that they create.
Conversely, Fortuna Dusseldorf will be up against it to find the back of the net but do we see them managing to get on the scoresheet.
Accordingly, we see a decent 3-1 winning margin for Elversberg when all’s said and done.
