The highlight of the 4th round in Germany’s 2. Bundesliga will be staged on Monday between MSV Duisburg and Fortuna Düsseldorf. In an unequal duel anything else than a victory by the home team would be surprising.
The Zebras, as Duisburg is called, belong to the inner circle of title contenders and faithfully eye the promotion in this season. Their start into the season has been promising with a draw against co-favorite Energie Cottbus among the results and they’ve prolonged their unbeaten run from the end of last season. During the summer break Coach Peter Neururer has not made any major changes, hence the team plays well together.
Newly promoted Fortuna Düsseldorf will face their first real challenge. Six points after three matchdays should be satisfying for a start into the league. In the DFB-Cup they forced the Hamburger SV into the penalty-shoot out but failed to win. One and only the lost game against Union Berlin is a flaw on the convincing start into their campaign.
MSV Duisburg – Fortuna Düsseldorf
Kick-Off: Monday, Aug 31st 2009 8.15 pm
Venue: Dusiburg, MSV-Arena
Tip: In this game Fortuna clearly is the Underdog. Nonetheless they might surprise the title-contender Duisburg. Thus, a rather risky bet on a draw in this game.
