MSV Duisburg form and stats
MSV Duisburg's struggle is real here at Schauinsland-Reisen-Arena with only 5 points collected from 8 3. Liga games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-2-5.
MSV Duisburg are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-2 away versus Ingolstadt. A 1-1 draw away before that, with Bayern München II the opponent.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Duisburg have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eight matches with the results: Won two, drawn four and lost two.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Duisburg as they have a new game in only three days, a 3. Liga match thankfully also at home. Magdeburg are visiting.
