On Monday, MSV Duisburg will host SV Waldhof Mannheim from 7 pm. The team from the Kurpfalz has been in the Ruhr area since Sunday.
On Monday evening, the last match of the 19th matchday of the 3rd division is on the agenda: MSV Duisburg receives SV Waldhof Mannheim (from 7 pm in the RS live ticker).
The guest from Baden-Württemberg had already been preparing in Duisburg since Sunday and resided in a hotel at Duisburg’s main railway station. In the night from Sunday to Monday, the Mannheim team bus was then graffitied by chaotic people.
Yannik Barwig, Waldhof’s press spokesman, confirmed the crime to RevierSport. The team was able to quickly remove the graffiti on its own.
From a sporting point of view, the Mannheim team is in for a tough nut to crack with MSV. Waldhof coach Christian Neidhart said before the game: “This is a team that is as ambitious as Waldhof Mannheim. They are not satisfied with where they are. There is also the pressure of having to play at the top. Similar to us, they now have to get stability.”
In any case, the Mannheim coach is expecting a game “at eye level” on Monday, in which the form of the day could be decisive.
The statistical away table says nothing at this point. Rather, Mannheim won impressively against 1860. That’s what interests us, not the statistics.

Similarly, MSV coach Torsten Ziegner didn’t want to hear anything about Mannheim having an away weakness – two draws, six defeats. Ziegner in the run-up to the match: “I am already of the opinion that a two-month break means a fresh start. The statistical away table says nothing at this point. Rather, Mannheim won impressively against 1860. That’s what interests us, not the statistics. “
