Freiburg will look to repeat their last season's DFB Pokal win over Fortuna Dusseldorf when the sides meet in the first round of the 2026-27 season. This match on Sunday at Merkur Spiel-Arena between ‘F95’ and the ‘Breisgau Brazilians’ could be a low-scoring affair, with our match prediction backing under 3.5 goals.
Dusseldorf made it to at least the second round in ten of their last 11 appearances of this competition. That included a 3-1 loss to Freiburg in the second-round last year. Freiburg reached the semis last year and have made it past the first round in every appearance since 2011-12.
A 2-0 away loss at Hoffenheim II last weekend meant that Dusseldorf started their league campaign, in the third division, with consecutive defeats. In fact, ‘F95’ have lost four of their last five games (W1), including three defeats in a row.
Even at home, three defeats in their last five home competitive matches put them on the back foot.
Freiburg won 3-1 away at Motherwell in the UEFA Conference League playoff with the return leg fixed for next week. Having won five of their last six matches (L1), including four victories in a row, the visitors are understandably favourites to win here.
Away form is slightly concerning, as Freiburg were beaten in four of their last five away competitive matches.

Our Fortuna Dusseldorf vs Freiburg Prediction
Can Dusseldorf avenge last season’s loss? It was in the second round that they lost to Freiburg, but it looks unlikely that they could change the result this time. Four defeats in their last five matches (W1) mean the home side are struggling for momentum, while Freiburg are buzzing with confidence from a positive pre-season.
Dusseldorf were beaten 3-1 in the second round of this competition last year, but this time out the goals may not be as many. Our Fortuna Dusseldorf vs Freiburg prediction is under 3.5 goals.
