Duisburg - Kaiserslautern Prediction, Picks and Tips
The zebras are in crisis. After a good start to the season, the MSV Duisburg have missed the league league table in the third league two times in a row with two defeats in a row. Nevertheless, league leaders Unterhaching are still only three points away. But the negative climax of the MSV was the end in the national cup last weekend against a league team. Can Duisburg finish this negative series on Matchday 12? Opponent on Friday evening in the Schauinsland travel arena is the 1. FC Kaiserslautern. The Palatine stuck, if you like, actually already the whole season in crisis and have already made the first change of coach behind. Under the new coach Boris Schommers, there was the first victory before the international break. This allowed the Red Devils also leave the relegation zone. But the lead on the first relegation place is only two points. The view before the game Duisburg vs.. Kaiserslautern on the odds suggests that the crisis of the zebra passes and the FCK slips back into the deep table cellar. The betting base comes in their preliminary report but to another result and trusts the Palatinate at least one point.
On the last two league days of the MSV Duisburg each had the chance to jump to the top of the table had. But two 1: 3 failures, first at home against Meppen and then in Chemnitz, prevented this placement. The highlight of the series was certainly the match against the league club SSVg Velbert in the national cup. Here, the zebras lost after a miserable performance with 0: 2. Coach Lieberknecht wanted to give some substitute players a chance in the Cup and ignite the competition in the squad, but this plan went backwards. So far, Duisburg had with 24 goals the most dangerous offensive in the league. In Velbert, the third division but remained for the first time this season in a competitive match without a goal. The defensive has more and more weaknesses. In the last three competitive matches, the team of coach Lieberknecht conceded a total of eight goals. The central defenders Lukas Boeder and veteran Marvin Compper are currently weak points. But also on the outside of the relegated is vulnerable. Above all, the coach reminds the duel behavior and the lack of discipline. Despite the setbacks, the coach does not want to know anything about a fundamental discussion. The fourth place with only three points behind first place is certainly still very neat after the big change. But the zebras have to end their negative series as soon as possible. According to Lieberknecht, the team has to find its strengths in the first phase of the season. Here, the MSV was characterized mainly by security on the defensive and pressure in the offensive game. The hope also rests on the home strength. With four wins and one defeat and a goal difference of 12: 6 Duisburg is still the second best home team in the league behind Unterhaching. So could play Duisburg vs. Kaiserslautern make a prognosis on the hosts quite meaningful. Lieberknecht has to give up on Compper, Neumann, Ben Balla, Krempicki and Sabanci on Friday. In central defense, 19-year-old Vincent Gembalies will probably have to help out.
For a few weeks, Boris Schommers, who could no longer prevent the descent of the Bundesliga in the summer in Nuremberg, has the say in Kaiserslautern. He is coach number eight in five years in the Palatinate. The balance in the league under the coach, who has started his second coaching station at the Red Devils, stands in a win, a draw and a defeat. The 3-1 win over Carl Zeiss Jena before the international break was not only FCK's first win under the new coach, but also their first home win of the season. In addition, the Palatinate won under Schommers with 3: 0 in the Landespokal Oberligisten Mainz-Gonsenheim. In the league, however, the Lauterer still ranked 15th In the summer of sports chief Bader wanted to actually put together a squad who can play for the rise. Now the team plays against relegation. And those responsible have decided to phased out the contract ending with sports chief Martin Bader on 31 December. He is accused of putting together the squad for a lot of money. Against Jena, the Palatine were initially advised by a dilettantisches defensive behavior in backlog. After that, the team showed will and passion. By and large, defensive midfielder Fechner had stabilized the defensive chain and the FCK won the match deservedly in the end. The hopes in Kaiserslautern rest on Florian Pick, who was able to score eight out of 18 goals of the Red Devils. In the international break Kaiserslautern completed a test match against the Luxembourg Europa League participants F91 Dudelange and won this 4-0. But behind the scenes there is still chaos.
