KSC maintains its winning streak in the 2nd Bundesliga, with Fortuna offering the strongest prospects for a challenge.

The much-anticipated match between Fortuna Düsseldorf and Karlsruher SC took place last weekend, with the interim third-placed team and the visitors aiming to secure a valuable victory. The "Fortuna for all" initiative offered free entry to 51,500 spectators, resulting in a sold-out stadium.

The match started slowly, with both teams showing little risk-taking. Fortuna Düsseldorf, who have won only once and drawn in their last four league games, had the first significant chances. Valgeir Lunddal's header (28') missed the target, while Shinta Appelkamp missed a chance two minutes after Lunddal's header.

Karlsruher SC, who have drawn for the second time away from home in their last four games, had an offensive phase just before halftime but lacked consistency in Fortuna Düsseldorf's penalty area. Goalkeeper Hans Christian Bernat saved twice for Karlsruher SC, once from Appelkamp's header (69') and once from Anouar El Azzouzi's long-range shot (70').

After the break, both teams played more offensively, leading to an even exchange. However, neither team was able to find the back of the net, with Fortuna Düsseldorf continuing to have the majority of chances. The home team has not scored a goal in their last two league games, extending their unbeaten streak to four games, while Karlsruher SC secured a 0:0 draw, extending their unbeaten streak to four games as well.

It is worth noting that the last time Karlsruher SC won at the Düsseldorf riverbank was in March 2016, and they have yet to score a goal there since. On the other hand, Fortuna Düsseldorf has avoided a disastrous start after two initial defeats in the league.
