Kees van Wonderen on facing Fortuna Düsseldorf
"The statistics show how dangerous Fortuna are. They concede few goals and are well organised. It's always about bringing our best level to the pitch. We absolutely want to keep three points here in our last home match of the year."
Daniel Thioune on facing Schalke
"The match in Paderborn last week is the benchmark for what we expect at Schalke. We will have to work very hard to control Kenan [Karaman] and this Schalke team. They have shown how good they are as a team and as individual players. We have a big challenge ahead of us."
Title memories
Fortuna became German champions for the one and only time in 1933, winning 3-0 against Schalke in the final in Cologne.
A familiar face
Kenan Karaman played for Düsseldorf for three years, suffering relegation from the Bundesliga with them in 2020. He scored nine goals for Düsseldorf in 41 Bundesliga matches and seven goals in 28 Bundesliga 2 fixtures.
Debut to remember
Daniel Thioune's debut as Düsseldorf boss was a 2-1 home victory against Schalke on 13 February 2022.
Düsseldorf boast better recent record
Düsseldorf have lost only one of their last seven competitive matches against Schalke (a 1-3 away defeat in the Bundesliga 2 in August 2021), winning four times and drawing twice.
