Fortuna started their new second division season with a win for the fourth consecutive year, securing a 2-0 victory over Darmstadt. Despite some challenges in controlling the game, a mix of luck and skill led to their success, with an own goal and a well-executed counterattack sealing the win. Dusseldorf still has room for improvement, but their ability to win difficult matches, even away from home, suggests they have the qualities needed for a successful season. Promotion to the Bundesliga is a clear goal for Fortuna this season. Dusseldorf aims to continue their strong start with a win in their first home game of the season against Karlsruhe. Last season, they had an impressive home record, winning 10 of their 17 home matches and finishing as the fourth-best home team in the league. Fortuna has not lost at home in the second division since January!!! The team remains unbeaten in 15 consecutive league matches and has a strong record against Karlsruhe, remaining undefeated in their last 10 encounters. On the other hand, Karlsruhe had a rocky start to their season, trailing 2-0 at home against Nurnberg before rallying to win 3-2, thanks to a hat trick from Georgian forward Zivzivadze. Despite the win, Karlsruhe showed defensive weaknesses that could be exploited away from home. Last season, they struggled on the road, earning nine points fewer than at home and scoring 12 fewer goals. Additionally, Karlsruhe has not won any of their last 10 matches against Dusseldorf . Despite their experience, Karlsruhe may struggle against a well-organized Dusseldorf side. If they fail to address their defensive issues, they could face their first setback of the season at Merkur Spiel-Arena

福尔图纳以2比0战胜达姆施塔特，连续第四年取得胜利，开始了新的乙级联赛。尽管在控制比赛方面遇到了一些挑战，但运气和技巧的结合使他们取得了成功，一个乌龙球和一次执行良好的反击锁定了胜利。杜塞尔多夫仍有提升的空间，但他们赢得困难比赛的能力，即使是在客场，表明他们有一个成功的赛季所需要的品质。本赛季升级到德甲是福图纳的一个明确目标。杜塞尔多夫的目标是在本赛季首场主场对阵卡尔斯鲁厄的比赛中取得胜利，延续他们的强势开局。上个赛季，他们的主场战绩令人印象深刻，17场主场比赛中赢了10场，是联盟中排名第四的主场球队。自一月以来，福特纳还没有在乙级联赛的主场输过球!!球队在联赛中保持了连续15场不败，并且在最近10场对阵卡尔斯鲁厄的比赛中保持了不败的战绩。另一方面，卡尔斯鲁厄本赛季开局并不顺利，在主场0 -2落后于纽伦堡，后来凭借格鲁吉亚前锋齐夫齐瓦泽的帽子戏法逆转比分，以3-2取胜。尽管取得了胜利，但卡尔斯鲁厄在客场表现出了可以利用的防守弱点。上个赛季，他们在客场表现不佳，比主场少得9分，少进12球。此外，卡尔斯鲁厄在最近10场对阵杜塞尔多夫的比赛中没有赢过一场。尽管他们经验丰富，卡尔斯鲁厄可能会与组织良好的杜塞尔多夫队进行斗争。如果他们不能解决他们的防守问题，他们可能会面临本赛季在默克斯皮尔球场的第一次挫折
