At MSV Duisburg, new head coach Boris Schrommers is on the sidelines for the first time. He comes from the regional league team 1. FC Düren. He replaces interim coach Engin Vural, who took over the helm after Torsten Ziegner was fired in mid-September. Most recently, the Zebras were on the rise with a 0-0 draw against SC Preußen Münster and a 1-0 win over SpVgg Unterhaching.

“It would be very important to follow up now in Duisburg. We want to continue to expand this small series and follow suit away from home,” says Arminia coach Mitch Kniat. After three games without a win, his team won 3-1 against Waldhof Mannheim. The Bielefeld team will be accompanied to Duisburg by over 3,000 fans.
