The league table in 3. Liga tells a story about these teams so far, with MSV Duisburg leading Carl Zeiss Jena by 30 points. Match preview to follow:
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
MSV Duisburg form and stats
MSV Duisburg, who have the the best goal difference (+14) in 3. Liga, have performed here at Schauinsland-Reisen-Arena this season with 9 wins from 13 3. Liga matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 2 games and lost 2.
Duisburg lost their last game at 1860 München (placed 3rd) after a 2-3 scoreline. Before that, Duisburg had a home game versus Magdeburg which ended with a victory 1-0.
Did Duisburg get overconfident in their match against 1860 München? We'll let you decide, but they did lose a 2-0 lead to end up with a 2-3 defeat.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Chemnitzer FC are coming to town in three days.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (27 in 13 games), MSV Duisburg's attacking play is working. On the other hand, Duisburg have conceded 15 goals.
Carl Zeiss Jena form and stats
Carl Zeiss Jena, who have the most conceded goals (62) in 3. Liga, have only collected 9 points from their away games in the 3. Liga, after 2-3-9 (14 played). It's looking increasingly bleak for Carl Zeiss Jena who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Waldhof Mannheim was the last time a defeat was avoided.
The attacking players of Zeiss have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 212 minutes.
The manager R. Klingbeil was unhappy after their last game, a 3. Liga match played at their home ground Ernst-Abbe-Sportfeld. Zeiss suffered a 0-1 loss to Chemnitzer FC (placed 12th). Preceding that, the 0-3 home loss versus 1860 München.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Kaiserslautern in just four days.
Zeiss have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 14 league away games 16 goals have been scored. The opposition has been scoring high and low on Zeiss's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 36 goals in 14 travels.
Head 2 Head
This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Carl Zeiss Jena - Duisburg 1-2. H2H stats regardless of arena (last three matches): Duisburg two wins, one draw and Carl Zeiss Jena zero victories. As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), zero games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
