Fortuna Düsseldorf sit 6th in the 3. Liga on 14 points from 9 matches, having scored 10 and conceded 10 — level on goal difference. On the model's scale they rate 0.58 in attack and 1.53 in defence (1.00 = an average top-flight side, lower defence is better), against 3. Liga averages of 0.55 and 1.85: about average in attack, above it at the back. Across their last 5 league matches they have 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat, most recently beating Preußen Münster 2-1 away. That is 1.56 points a match, scoring 1.11 and conceding 1.11 per game across 4 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats. That leaves them 10 points behind MSV Duisburg at the top, in a table of 20. Among the 20 rated sides in the division that is the 9th-best attack and the 3rd-best defence. They scored in 5 of those 5 and kept 1 clean sheet. Next they host FC Saarbrücken in the 3. Liga on 17 October 2026, a match the model gives them 50%.
