Expected score: Bietigheim/Bissingen 2-3 Dusseldorf
Bietigheim/Bissingen host Dusseldorf in DEL 2 on 18 October, a clash between the league's 11th-placed side and the runaway leaders. Dusseldorf's perfect record this season makes them heavy favourites, but Bietigheim showed they can score at will in their last outing. Don't sleep on the home side's attacking potential, even if the odds tell a different story.
Team form
Bietigheim/Bissingen
Bietigheim have been inconsistent. They beat Bad Nauheim 4-2 at home nine days ago, a performance that hinted at genuine offensive threat, but that win sits among three defeats in their last five. They lost 1-4 to Regensburg and 3-5 to Starbulls Rosenheim on the road, suggesting travel brings problems. Over five games they've scored 17 and conceded 17, so they're leaky at the back but capable of putting the puck in the net. The Bad Nauheim win matters here—it shows they can compete when they're sharp.
Dusseldorf
Dusseldorf are in another league entirely. Six wins from eight games, zero losses, 22 points. They've won their last five straight, conceding just 4 goals across those matches—a 0.8 average that's genuinely elite. They beat Starbulls Rosenheim 3-1, Weiden 5-1, and Crimmitschau 4-1. Only Memmingen held them to 3-0. The visitors are scoring 3.4 per game and defending like a wall. This is the form of a team built to win the division.
Head-to-head
No previous meetings between these sides in the available record.
Key factors
The gulf in league position understates how wide the gap really is. Dusseldorf's defensive record—0.8 goals conceded per game over five matches—is the real story. Bietigheim average 3.4 goals scored, but they've done that against weaker defences. Dusseldorf have allowed just one goal in their last two games combined. That said, Bietigheim's home ice and their capacity to score in bursts (7 goals against Weiden, 4 against Bad Nauheim) means they're not a pushover. The question isn't whether Dusseldorf will win, but whether Bietigheim can keep it respectable. Dusseldorf's attack is also sharp—3.4 per game—so if Bietigheim's defence has an off night, the visitors will punish them.
Prediction
Dusseldorf's form is simply too strong to ignore. They're unbeaten, they defend with discipline, and they score efficiently. Bietigheim have the firepower to trouble them, but consistency isn't their calling card. The visitors should control this match and come away with the win. Dusseldorf's perfect record and defensive solidity make them the clear pick, even on hostile ice.
Back Dusseldorf to win. They're the league leaders for a reason, and their recent form—especially their stingy defence—suggests they'll handle Bietigheim's threat. The home side can score, but they'll struggle to breach a Dusseldorf team that's conceding less than a goal per game. This looks like a Dusseldorf victory, though Bietigheim shouldn't be written off entirely.
