Match week two of the 3. Liga season and the sides have taken their learnings from the first game. Here's the MSV Duisburg - Rot-Weiss Essen pre-match guide:

This looks to be an interesting fixture with lots of action and bustle as both sides are well refreshed since they last ran out on the pitch. Game on!

MSV Duisburg form and stats

Last season, MSV Duisburg's league results were 13 wins, 3 draws and 20 losses, producing 15th place in the 3. Liga. In these 36 matches they scored 46 goals and gave away 71. Playing as the home side in the former season MSV Duisburg delivered 7-2-9 (win-draw-lost) with 25 goals and 37 conceded.

The club members are hoping that MSV Duisburg will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the match against Osnabruck (placed 6th).

Preceding that game was the away draw at Verl that finished 1-1.

This is expected to be a close game, with MSV Duisburg perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with MSV Duisburg as a small favourite), we find 17 games. Duisburg has won 6 of these, drawn 4 and lost 7.

The manager Ziegner will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Zwickau in only four days.

Rot-Weiss Essen form and stats

Let's have a look at how Rot-Weiss Essen performed last season in the Regionalliga: West: They landed a 1st position in the league table after playing out 26 victories, 9 draws and 3 defeats. In total they scored 84 and conceded 32 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 12 - drew 6 and lost 1 with 43/17 goals scored/conceded.

Rot-Weiss Essen's previous game was their home loss versus Elversberg (1-5). Rot-Weiss Essen lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 1-5 beating and focus on this one.

That result followed a home victory 2-0 versus Rot Weiss Ahlen in the Regionalliga: West.

After this away game Rot-Weiss return home for a 3. Liga game against Viktoria Koln. That game is only four sleeps after this.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last two matches): MSV Duisburg two wins, zero draws and Rot-Weiss Essen zero victories. As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), zero games had two or less.
