MSV Duisburg hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 9 points and a 18th position in the 3. Liga table. Visiting Verl holds 11th place with 13 pts.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Duisburg and Verl.
MSV Duisburg form and stats
MSV Duisburg, who have the fewest points (2) at home in 3. Liga, have collected 2 points from their 3. Liga home games so far after 0-2-3.
Duisburg drew their last game, also a home match. Hallescher FC (placed 14th) was the opponent, 0-0 the score. Heartbreak before that as Duisburg lost 1-2 at Turkgucu-Ataspor's place.
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 Duisburg as a small favourite), we find nine games. MSV Duisburg has won two of these, drawn four and lost three.
There will be little rest for Duisburg after this match as they are travelling to Waldhof Mannheim for a 3. Liga game in only four days.
Duisburg have scored 4 league goals here from 5 matches, not a lot. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 9 goals have been conceded.
Verl form and stats
2-1-1 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Verl in their 3. Liga matches away.
Verl's previous game was their home loss versus VfB Lubeck (1-2). Prior to that result Verl won their away game at Saarbrucken. The scoreline was 2-1.
Late heartbreak for Verl in the VfB Lubeck match, as the deciding 1-2 goal came deep into overtime.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Verl playing away and similar expectations, we found six relevant matches. Results were two Verl wins, two draws and two defeats.
A quick return to home after this game, as Verl are hosting 1860 München in the 3. Liga only four days away.
Verl are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 5 away goals from 4 games (in the league). As opposed to that, Verl have seen the ball go into their own net 4 times on the road.
