1:0, 4:0, 2:0, 5:3, 3:1 and 4:0 – those have been the most recent results when Werder Bremen pitted their strengths against MSV Duisburg. The last two results were registered during the current season. On the 9th match day, Werder were successful at the MSV-Arena, albeit rather unconvincingly, and then Thomas Schaaf’s side put the ‘Zebra’s’ out of the DFB Cup in the second round back in October with a more determined display.
MSV Duisburg currently find themselves rooted to the bottom of the table and the club haven’t been able to escape the drop zone since sliding into it back on the eighth day of the season – contrary to the Green-Whites last opponents, Armenia Bielefeld, who spent just one week in the relegation places but made the leap into 15th spot with their point against Werder.
A relegation threatened opponent or not, Bremen coach Thomas Schaaf warned: “We should not take any notice of the table. The fact that Duisburg are bottom bares absolutely no relevance.” The coach went on to remark: “Just two weeks ago Bayern delivered the perfect example of why that is the case in their game against Cottbus.”
For the trip to Bremen, MSV Duisburg will definitely be without winter signing Olivier Veigneau (inner ligament tear) and Silvio Schröther (bone oedema) whilst Tobias Willi is still recovering from a cold. Thomas Schaaf set out his stall saying: “We must force our opponents into making errors and we need to be mobile, put them under pressure and we must win the challenges, just as we have done in our recent games. The difference this time is that we must capitalise on our opponent’s mistakes and we must score goals by looking to finish in resolute fashion.” When the coach uses the word ‘Must’ four times – then he ‘Must’ mean it!
