MSV Duisburg - 1.FC Kaiserslautern

Important game for the home team because with Dresden and Sandhausen two direct competitors play against each other and one of them get the points and get closer if MSV can not get anything here. They are not in such good shape and collected only one point 2013, their advantage to drop zone is almost gone and it seems that they are getting involved again. On the other side Kaiserslautern started very well and with their new signings they did well and won both matches. They looked very good in these and they want to continue this way and get promoted in the end. They have all weapons in their hand and in this case they must only walk on.

It was a big disappointment for MSV against 1860 Munich where they took the lead but can not hold it long and in the end they lost 1-3. After 1860 took the lead they opened a lot and much space for 1860 gave them the opportunity for more goals. It would be very important for MSV today to play as compact as they can because with Kaiserslautern they have one of the top teams in this league ahead. Some changes are expected and bring some fresh power into the team. First one should be on keeper position where Müller must back on bench and former 1st keeper Wiedwald gives his comeback after injury. Also Bajic and Sukalo should be in team for sure as they were suspended last match but returns today. As I said Müller, Lachheb and Perthel must back on bench then. Moreover some other changes are possible as with Kern they are not very pleased and coach want to change here too. For him maybe can play Brosinski on this position while Exslager can take the Brosinski position as offensive wing.

On the other side Kaiserslautern without any problems as they started well, coach Foda has a lot of options with their new players and he sees no reason to change against their deserved 3-0 win. He has almost all men available and therefore to choose from a lot. Hoffer and Drazan did a good job as joker in the past but put a lot of pressure on the others as they want to move in starting lineup but it is more expected that they start again from bench. Some experts said that maybe Mitchell Weiser is out from first eleven as he could not convince much in his two starting matches, in this case Hoffer gets a place as striker while Bunjaku move back as offensive wing. From such a huge squad to choose can MSV only dream !!!
