MATCH PREVIEW
MAIN PREDICTION: HOME WIN
Out-of-form Greuther Furth were thrashed 6-0 by Paderborn at Benteler Arena last weekend, a result which saw coach Damir Buric fired. The team have now been winless since end-November, losing five league matches and drawing only one. Their abysmal run has seen them slide steadily down the table. After sitting as high as second in round ten, they are now finding themselves in a lowly 12th place with 24 points to their name.
Duisburg picked up their second home win of the season last week, beating Darmstadt 3-2 at Schauinslandreisen Arena. It was the fourth victory since Torsten Lieberknecht's appointment as coach at the beginning of October, but the club have drawn only two and lost six of their other league games during that time. Sitting in 17th and one point from safety, the Zebras remain in a precarious position in the league table. They were beaten 3-1 by Paderborn at home in the third round of the German cup in midweek.
With both teams struggling, this is a massive league fixture for both clubs. Greuther Furth have not scored in their last six fixtures in league action, conceding 18 goals and claiming only a point during that time while Duisburg have not managed to string two consecutive league wins together this term. Home advantage could be a key factor in this one, so put your money on a Shamrock win.
SECOND PREDICTION: ODD/EVEN – ODD
Odd total goals have been scored in Greuther Furth’s last five league wins. I can see this trend continuing.
HEAD TO HEAD
There has been one win for each side and three draws in their last five league meetings.
