The final day of the 2. Bundesliga season brings a tense relegation battle as SpVgg Greuther Fürth host Fortuna Düsseldorf. With only two points separating the sides, both teams enter this decisive encounter under immense pressure. Fürth sit in 17th place, two points behind the safety zone, while Düsseldorf occupy 15th with three more points. The stakes could not be higher, as both clubs fight to secure their place in the division for next season.

SpVgg Greuther Fürth’s Recent Form and Key Stats

Greuther Fürth approach this match after a narrow 2-1 defeat against Hertha BSC on May 10, a result that left them in a precarious position near the bottom of the table. Over their last five league matches, the team have recorded one win, two draws, and two losses, averaging 1.2 goals scored and 1.4 conceded per game. Their season record stands at 9 wins, 7 draws, and 17 defeats, with an average of 1.4 goals scored and 2.1 conceded per match.

Home fixtures have often provided entertainment for Fürth supporters, with an average of 3.4 total goals per game when playing at their own ground. The attacking intent is evident, but defensive lapses have cost them valuable points. In fact, the team has managed to keep only four clean sheets this season. The last head-to-head meeting between these sides ended in a 2-1 victory for Fürth back in December 2025, a result they will hope to replicate in this crucial clash.

• Ranking: 17th in 2. Bundesliga


• Last 5 matches: 1 win, 2 draws, 2 defeats


• Average goals per game: 1.4 scored, 2.1 conceded


• Clean sheets: 4 this season


• Head-to-head record vs Düsseldorf: 2 wins, 3 losses

Fürth’s challenge will be to balance their attacking drive with defensive discipline. Given their need for three points, they are expected to push forward aggressively, which could open up spaces at the back. The home crowd will play a crucial role in motivating the team to deliver one last strong performance.

Fortuna Düsseldorf’s Recent Form and Key Stats

Fortuna Düsseldorf come into this fixture after a morale-boosting 3-1 win over Elversberg on May 10. That victory ended a difficult run in which they had lost six of their previous eight matches. Over their last five games, Düsseldorf have secured two wins and suffered three defeats, scoring and conceding an average of 1.4 goals per match. Their overall season record shows 11 wins, 4 draws, and 18 losses, with an average of 1.0 goals scored and 1.5 conceded per game.

Defensively, Düsseldorf have struggled to maintain consistency, keeping a clean sheet in only five matches all season. However, their away performances have generally been tight affairs, with under 3.5 goals scored in each of their last 15 away games. Another notable trend is that at least one team failed to score in 30 of their last 32 league matches at half-time, suggesting that early goals are rare in their fixtures.

• Ranking: 15th in 2. Bundesliga


• Last 5 matches: 2 wins, 3 defeats


• Average goals per game: 1.0 scored, 1.5 conceded


• Clean sheets: 5 this season


• Under 3.5 goals: in last 15 away matches

Despite their inconsistent form, Düsseldorf remain slightly ahead in the standings and know that even a draw could be enough to secure survival. Their approach may therefore be more cautious, focusing on defensive solidity and counterattacks to exploit Fürth’s need to attack.
