Dusseldorf II vs Ahlen tips and predictions

Lots of questions for Ahlen

It's tempting to overlook them but the big price against Ahlen makes them the surprise package here. However, it doesn't come with a huge amount of certainty.

Dusseldorf II are a curious outfit at the moment. They've lost 9 of their last 19 games at home. Legitimate scoring chances have been in short supply for them. They've been goalless in 8 of their last 17 matches on their own turf. Depending on the nature of the line-up they face at kick-off, this stat could make the difference. They quickly need to shore up their defence. They conceded two or more goals in 10 of their last 19 home matches. Maybe this lends further evidence supporting the away win.

Ahlen have produced some high calibre displays. If the away team hits their straps, they might get the job done. They've scored at least once in 14 of their last 15 games and if they're to get anything from this game their goal scorers must not be carrying any niggles. They have conceded no more than once in all of their last 3 matches.

Playing devil's advocate it might be surprise enough to see the visitors come away having shared the spoils. Most previews are saying that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match despite the favouritism for Dusseldorf II. However, the odds-against for the BTTS No looks reasonable.
