Duisburg vs Elversberg tips and predictions

Duisburg warrant consideration in 3. Liga clash

The visiting side is thought to have this in the bag when these two sides cross swords but they are too skinny a price in this match-up.

Duisburg need to extract confidence from somewhere. So what is it about the hosts' recent form? They scored two or more goals in 4 of their recent 5 matches and that effort has been consolidated at the back where they have kept a clean sheet in 2 of their last 4 home games.

Elversberg haven't maintained a clean sheet for a while. They've conceded at least once in all of their last 6 matches. If there are genuine concerns, maybe they have crept into performances at the other end of the pitch. The visitors haven't really been able to bank on on their play-makers lately. They've scored one or less goals in 4 of their last 6 matches.

Duisburg have won 1 of the last 3 fixtures between these sides. In terms of the previous meetings the head-to-head stats show how well they have done before even if the odds will tell you otherwise.

If you'd rather sit on the fence you might expect to see the hosts come away having shared the spoils. The sportsbooks believe that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match despite the favouritism for Elversberg. Nevertheless the odds-against for the No BTTS is actually the best pick from that market. And in the total goals line, it's Under 3.5 for this one considering the odds that are available.
