MSV Duisburg - Eintracht Braunschweig

We have Round 8 and this is the eighth attempt form MSV to get the first win this Season. They could collect only 2 Points so far what put them under huge pressure, the team and of course the Coach again today. Maybe they face not the optimal opponent with Braunschweig because after having a very awful and slow start Braunschweig is in great shape now. They were able to get 10 Points form the last 4 matches and concede not a single goal in these games.

MSV Coach Lettieri was not very pleased with the 0-1 lose to FSV Frankfurt some days ago. He had seen a good playing offensive from Duisburg but they were not able to use best possible opportunities to score. It was maybe very unlucky to lose this encounter. He hopes that they can create the same amount again and this time they finish all their good actions. He saw a team in the right way, they missed only to score goals but as always in football some days later you get a new chance to recover and for this he hopes greatly. Normally he should be fired already but it is only due to the huge injury problems they face he got a chance again. But sooner or later he has to deliver results otherwise that was it for him in Duisburg. Maybe if they get some success back with a win they maybe play much more relaxed and believe in them again.
Squad wise they have one more player out due to the red card from Albutat against FSV on sunday. One good news is that Hajri returns into the squad but he has only 45 minutes match praxis in second team so far after his injury and this is may to less to start immediately today. Also some positive sign comes from Dausch who face a knee injury but he wants to play and he can replace Albutat in central midfield. Additional is Scheidhauer an option to start after coming in against FSV because of slight injury problems but these are gone now. Not ready is Obinna who has not license so far to play.

The Eintracht Coach Lieberknecht showed a lot of self confidence in press conference as he said that he wants to see a win from his team in Duisburg. Therefore only one outcome counts for them against bottom side MSV what put a lot of pressure on his team before the game already. Nevertheless he mentioned also a lot of respect to MSV and their actual situations. He expect a very hard fighting team who wants to get the first win anyway.
What team he send on the pitch is very open, he does not mentioned anything about the lineup and make it top secret. He has to choose from almost all, only Omladic is out injured. This makes it very easy for him to find a good and strong lineup for today. The defensive line remain unchanged after keeping a clean sheet in the last 4 games, of course. We said it already, on all parts are alternatives like Schönfeld in midfield or Ofosu-Ayeh for the back wing and also in offensive with Hochscheidt and Zuck. In attack Berggreen has a huge advantage right now as Ademi and Hvilsom are not 100% fit at the moment.
