Rot-Weiß Oberhausen against MSV Duisburg: This is the top match of the 2nd round of the Niederrheinpokal. RWO is looking forward to the comparison with the third-division team.

Hans-Günter Bruns had a big surprise in store for his former club Rot-Weiß Oberhausen: RWO has to play MSV Duisburg in the 2nd round of the Lower Rhine Cup.

“Of course, that’s a hell of a draw. But we’re taking it in our stride. If you want to win the cup, you have to beat every opponent sooner or later. We are competing in the competition to win the title. That’s why we’re looking forward to the MSV game and we’ll give it everything we’ve got here,” Patrick Bauder told RevierSport.

Regional league team against third league team: Of course, on paper MSV is the favourite. But the Duisburgers will also know that it’s not easy to win in Oberhausen. “The stadium will be full. Both fan camps and both teams will be looking forward to this game. It’s a highly attractive, exciting draw,” added the RWO sporting director.

Bauder has already watched MSV Duisburg play 90 minutes in the 3. Liga this season and has a lot of respect for the Zebras. Bauder: “Of course, they are currently on a good run with ten points from four games. But that doesn’t surprise me either. With players like Moritz Stoppelkamp, Marvin Bakalorz, Aziz Bouhaddouz, Sebastian Mai or Johsua Bitter, there is a lot of experience in the team. MSV also has young talents like Casper Jander in its ranks. That’s a strong third-league squad. They know how to play football. “
