MSV Duisburg

MSV Duisburg are going through catastrophic start of the season, losing each of their first three matches against Dynamo Dresden, Vfl Bochum and SV Darmstadt 98 without even scoring a single goal. Last weekend they were nailed by SV Darmstadt 98 with 3-0, so the team confidence is very low at the moment. MSV Duisburg will hardly repeat last season success when they finished in the upper part of the table. Now they are labeled as one of the serious early candidates to go down. Big problem for MSV Duisburg in the opening three games was their poor finishing. They did create some chances, but their strikers were very sloppy in the attack. If they do not change something soon they are set for a very painful season. MSV Duisburg`s recent record against Greuther Furth has been negative, as they managed to beat them just once in their last six head to head duels.



Greuther Furth

Unlike MSV Duisburg, Greuther Furth are enjoying good start of the 2.Bundesliga season. They are still unbeaten after three games, winning against SV Sandhausen and drawing their last two games against good sides of Ingolstadt and SC Paderborn. Last week Greuther Furth played 2-2 draw against SC Paderborn, but in reality that draw felt like a painful loss. Greuther Furth completely dominated in that match and had 2-0 lead right until the end of the game when they conceded two quick goals in the 89th and 90th minute of the match. Greuther Furth look like a really good side based on the performances so far. Last week they even managed to hold Borussia Dortmund to a score draw in the DFB Cup and barely got eliminated after extra time. German striker Daniel Keita-Ruel showed some really good performances and emerged as one of the candidates for top scorer in the 2.Bundesliga by scoring three goals in the last three games for Greuther Furth.



THE BETTING VERDICT

MSV Duisburg are under big pressure for points, but they failed to score in any of their three games so far. On the other end, Greuther Furth played good football in the recent weeks and travel to Duisburg relaxed. Based on the performances shown so far, I believe that Greuther Furth are closer to win here. However, I would go with a safer double chance bet on the visitors to win or draw this game.
