“SGS Food Women’s Bundesliga: Sunday’s Home Game Can Secure Relegation Status”

Trainer Markus Högner sets the direction: “We won’t slack off, we won’t look left and right and we’ll do everything we can. We owe that to our fantastic crowd, who have given us such great support in every home game this season, but also to all the other teams in the league. We also want to live up to our own standards in order to get the last few points.”

Duisburg will not be a stroll

With the change of coach, the Duisburg team have given new impetus. They’ve been much more stable since then. “Above all defensively. Because they hardly allowed anything against the top teams, ”as the coach says.

Narrow defeats against Wolfsburg and Frankfurt, a very important victory in Meppen and a respectable success with the point against Freiburg. Only the 0:4 defeat in Cologne hurts the zebra camp. But Markus Högner doesn’t want to get involved with that: “Thomas Gerstner brought in a good structure again. Duisburg are difficult to play with and allow far less. You’re well on your way to holding up the class. That’s why it will be a difficult game for us.”

Högner expects an encounter similar to that against Bremen: “They are a team that will challenge us physically and are very robust. We have to fight back.” Nevertheless, he is confident of being able to score the arithmetically missing point on Sunday: “We shook our clothes off the defeat against Bremen. We’re ready to offer the spectators a lot in the last home game – good pace, creating chances to score and ultimately taking advantage of them.” In terms of personnel, the coaching team can draw on almost unlimited resources. Kick-off in the stadium on Hafenstrasse is Sunday at 4 p.m. The big fan festival begins at 1:30 p.m.
