The match kicks off at the Duisburg Arena at 2 p.m.: MSV welcomes Rot-Weiss Essen for the derby in the 3rd division. We have the team lineups.

“Never change a winning team”, Christoph Dabrowski remains true to this motto. For the derby at MSV Duisburg, the Rot-Weiss Essen coach is relying on the exact starting eleven that last beat 1. FC Saarbrücken 2-1.

This also means that ex-Zebra Andreas Wiegel will initially sit on the bench.

Meanwhile, Boris Schommers, coach of MSV Duisburg, has made some changes after the 0:1 against Arminia Bielefeld – see infobox.

With over 27,000 spectators, the derby, which kicks off at 2 p.m., will be almost sold out. Before the game, Rot-Weiss Essen is a full eleven points ahead of MSV Duisburg, who are bottom of the table. The latter want to ring in the longed-for Tourn-Around with a win in the derby.

Boris Schommers, MSV Duisburg: “Basically, it doesn’t matter who we play, we first have to give one hundred percent of our performance and I see it as an opportunity. We will have a full stadium, a great backdrop, many of our fans will support us. “
