Duisburg vs Greuther Furth Prediction & Betting tips
“Zebra stripes white and blue” it sounds at every goal of the native MSV through the Schauinsland Travel Arena. Also and especially in the DFB Cup one wishes on the Wedau that the Zebra Twist – which is the oldest stadium anthem in Germany – may sound as frequently as possible, but the DFB Cup is a fantastic platform to attract national attention.
The MSV, which is notoriously short of cash, could make the most of this resulting additional advertising or TV money revenue. Firstly, the MSV may look forward to a good start to the season in the third division but on Saturday evening on a probably very well-attended cup match against SpVgg Greuther Fürth in Round 1.
Certainly, there would have been more spectacular games, but in Meiderich, on the other hand, you are looking forward to a task that, in contrast to absolute top opponents such as Bayern Munich or Borussia Dortmund, seems solvable if you catch a very good day and get the higher-class club stumbling.
Although in Duisburg certainly the own laws of the DFB Cup will lead into the field and you reached the last sixteen last season after all, you are as a third division in the DFB Cup against a second division on paper in the normal case in the outsider role. But this is surprisingly not the case with this concrete encounter!
At least if you compare the MSV Duisburg vs. Greuther Fürth available odds of the bookmakers believe. These see the Duisburg – although relatively close – favorite. The betting base analyzes the squads of the two clubs, which are loaded with many new entries, and also looks at how the clubs started their season in their respective leagues.
On the basis of this analysis we will make a prognosis for the game Duisburg against Fürth, which team could succeed in the second main round of the DFB club cup.
Duisburg:
The MSV Duisburg had to go in the preseason despite coach changes from Ilia Gruev to Torsten Lieberknecht as the bottom of the table in the third division and is now there with a nearly retreaded team. From a clearly formulated goal for the promotion ascent was initially not heard in Meiderich.
Instead, they had initially intended to pull the last heavily disappointed audience with honest Malocher football again on his side. The start of the season was surprisingly good with three wins from the first four games.
This came as an unexpected surprise, as the Duisburg have compared to their Mitabsteigern FC Ingolstadt and 1.FC Magdeburg the smallest financial scope and 15 sometimes very well-known players had to go (including goalkeeper Wiedwald, Captain Nauber, de Souza, Tashchy and Verhoek) , The new additions, however, came mostly from lower leagues. The exception is ex-international Marvin Compper, who was hired as the new defender of Celtic Glasgow.
Midfielder Moritz Stoppelkamp was in very good shape in the previous four league games and was able to claim a number of participations. Last weekend MSV were able to set a real mark with a 3-0 away win at Eintracht Braunschweig, which started the season with 9 points from 3 games.
The faithful and numerous MSV fans draw slowly but surely the hope that the zebras in the promotion race but have a say. Especially since they now seem to have solvable tasks in their league with two home games against Zwickau and Meppen and an away game with promoted Waldhof Mannheim.
First of all, of course, the full concentration of the upcoming DFB Cup encounter applies. The MSV has beaten many legendary cup battles in its history. For example, in the 1997/98 season, when the Duisburg in the semifinals with 10: 9 prevailed on penalties at Eintracht Trier.
In the ensuing final against Bayern Munich led the Duisburg by a hit of his time in the form of his life Bachirou Salou, before this was removed by a bad foul by Michael Tarnat from the game and the Munich still won 2-1. Nobody dreams of the cup final in Meiderich, but at least the opening hurdle would like to master the zebras.
Fürth:
A special match is the meeting in Duisburg for the Fürth sports director Rachid Azzouzi; After all, the MSV was his first professional station. Here, the native Moroccan, who grew up in the Rhineland, finally laced the boots for the zebras for six years (from 1989 to 1995) and in more than 100 competitive matches.
Of course, he will hide such sentimentality on Sunday, because he wants to get along with the Fürthern, for whom he also played for six years and whom he now has been managing director for almost two years as sports director.
The Fürth have made with Mario Maloca (Gdansk), Lukas Gugganig (Osnabrück) and Richard Magyar (Hammarby) three seasoned center-back, but presented themselves in the previous two league games with the experienced Margim Mavraj (came back from Ingolstadt to the Ronhof) and Marco Caligiuiri with a total of three conceded quite neat, as far as the “saddle strength” is concerned.
Even more convincing than the defensive presented the offensive department, although here with David Atanga and Fabian Resse two players who had a large stake in the last season, left the club.
Newcomer Marvin Stefaniak, whose career in Wolfsburg had faltered massively after convincing himself at Dynamo Dresden of his undoubtedly existing individual class on several occasions, was especially convincing so far. In Fürth he succeeds so far, to build on his Dynamo time. He shows great overview, sprayed with joy of playing and can often implement his good ideas in technical perfection.
Together with Julian Green and Daniel Keita-Ruel (both of whom scored the three goals in a 3-1 away win at FC St. Pauli on their last league match day), the shamrocks have a top offensive against the likes of Julian Green and Daniel Keita-Ruel completely new four-chain of MSV Duisburg should pose major problems.
The already substantial attack division has been further enhanced with two high-quality options through the late commitments of Havard Nielsen and Branimir Hrgota, both with Bundesliga experience.
In the goal Sascha Burchert shows in top form. The Fürth can always count on him and his thoughts on a possible change in the second English league (“Championship”) he seems to have shelved.
Even in a possible penalty shoot-out the Franks would be well positioned with Burchert, who was able to parry in the last season in the second league at least two of five penalties. If he keeps this quota in a penalty shoot-out, then this is likely to extend the shamrocks, which, however, of course prefer a victory in the regular season and strive to reach.
