MSV Duisburg form and stats
With {2 3. Liga wins}, 2 draws and 7 defeats from their home games, MSV Duisburg, who have the most conceded goals (37) in 3. Liga, are certainly not brimming with confidence. MSV Duisburg has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager G. Lettieri and the players. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Duisburg, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
The fans are hoping that MSV Duisburg will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-3 away loss in the 3. Liga game against Zwickau (placed 11th). Before that game, the home loss against Hansa Rostock with the scoreline 1-2.
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 nine games. MSV Duisburg has won three of these, drawn four and lost two.
Duisburg are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 11 goals in 11 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Duisburg defense is not exactly impregnable. 21 goals conceded from 11 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
