MSV Duisburg is still in danger of relegation two rounds before the end of the season in the 3rd football league.
A week after the 6-0 home defeat against 1860 Munich, the Meiderichers missed the chance of staying up early with a 3-1 (0-3) loss at Waldhof Mannheim.
After goals from Marcel Seegert (8th), Dominik Kother (34th) and Jesper Verlaat (44th), the Zebras are still only two points clear of the relegation zone despite their consolation goal by Marvin Ajani (84th).
In his last two games of the season, the former runners-up will meet SC Freiburg II and in a possible “final” against relegation rivals SC Verl.
After the playful return to the second division, Mannheim ranks two points behind 1860 Munich due to the success in fifth place. The four best teams are automatically qualified for the next season in the DFB Cup.
