In this 3. Liga fixture, the two sides meet while both are still not far from the top group. Münster have 12 points from 8 matches, with Düsseldorf one point behind. Both teams have just picked up draws in their latest match and have not won in a while, so this is a game where whoever takes the three points can immediately move up and jostle into the upper group. Münster at home are still unbeaten in 4 matches, but they have won only once, with the rest all draws, and they score and concede roughly two goals per match. Their home games therefore often end up as open exchanges rather than matches where the door is shut tight. Düsseldorf away, meanwhile, are clearly a notch below the hosts, even though they score less than a goal per match and have two matches where they failed to score at all, their defence does not collapse badly either, conceding on average just a single goal. The pattern of play should therefore be Münster seeing more of the ball and pushing the game forward, while Düsseldorf sit back and wait to counter. The first half has a chance of opening up into an exchange because both teams tend to concede early in matches, but in the second half the hosts should control the tempo more and apply more sustained pressure.
