The 3. Liga league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. VfB Lübeck and MSV Duisburg are placed 14th and 15th respectively.
VfB Lübeck and MSV Duisburg should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
VfB Lübeck form and stats
A 3. Liga draw at home so far for VfB Lübeck. Last season their home statistics were 11 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat from 12 matches.
The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Saarbrucken.
This is expected to be a close game, with VfB Lübeck perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with VfB Lübeck as a small favourite), we find three games. VfB Lübeck has won one of these, drawn one and lost one.
Early season league goal statistics from VfB Lübeck's 1 home game: 1 goal, 1 conceded.
MSV Duisburg form and stats
The visitors' first away game in the 3. Liga ended in defeat. Last season MSV Duisburg had these away match statistics: Played 19; won 6, drew 5 and lost 8.
Preceding that game, the 1-3 loss visiting Hansa Rostock's place.
As mentioned above, Duisburg drew the match against Zwickau. Manager T. Lieberknecht brought on L. Mickels to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found six similar matches played by MSV Duisburg in our archives, and the results are: one win for MSV Duisburg, two draws and three defeats.
1 goal so far away for MSV Duisburg, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 3. All from 1 league match away.
