MSV Duisburg - Greuther Fürth

This match is very important for both teams, as the result were not as expected. MSV at the bottom with not win so far has a lot of problem after returning to 2.BL. They are not able to hold the level high and maybe the players are to average for this league as well. On the other side Fürth started very well with 4 Points but lost all three last games, 2 in league and 1 in Cup. If both want to have a happy international break, they should try to win this game. Otherwise it can be 2 very hard weeks to the next game.

It is not all well in Duisburg so far, Coach is under huge pressure from the media but Manager Grilic hold to him right now. But what happened if he lose this game again? They do not think about this and they are trying bring all available power into this 90. minutes. Grilic expects an open match anyway because of the situation.
What players are available for MSV, they have a lot of problems before this game. With Janjic, Broker and Hajri they have three important players more not available for today. And all the others on their injury list with Poggenberg, Wiegel, De Wit makes it not much better for Lettieri. He has to find the right balance with the players he has available today. This can be that some players are playing on a position they never played before. If Dausch and Holland can not play according to their slight injuries it would be a disaster for MSV. Not many options are left. What should Letterie do with so many problems ..... maybe he puts all in an offensive minded team and try to overcome Fürth with the last available squad.

In Fürth they was looking forward for better times, to begin of the season it looked good but the last games showed the same old awful play from last season and they are already in danger. Coach Ruthenbeck was not very pleased with the defeat to FSV 0-2. This game makes him very angry and he was also not pleased with some players. He maybe comes to the decision to change something for today. He wants to see some reaction from his team. With Wurtz they have the back wing out, the first option there is Schröck, also Gießelmann is back from injury and returns on his position on the wing while Thesker has to be on bench then. A lot of options are possible in midfield or attack. For Berisha can play Kumbela up front and in midfield he has Weilandt and Trinks instead of Zulu and Freis.
