Bundesliga 3 : Kickers Emden v RW Essen – Home
In Bundesliga 3 North, eighth placed Kickers Emden did very well in last game when they won at home 2-1 on fourth placed Werder Bremen II and now with one game in hand are at four points only from the leaders and three from the second Union Berlin. Winning today can help the to move up into third place at par in points with Union Berlin but a lesser goal difference.They are on a good run of form and unbeaten I four of last five, losing only by 1-0 to second placed Union Berlin. They won three of last four homes.Essen managed only one win (3-0) from last nine games and that was on poor bottom club Wilfsburg II. They lost five and drew three of the other eight. They drew one and won the one from last three and showed some progess.I take the home win here.
2. Fortuna Dusseldorf v RW Essen - Home
In German 3 South, Fortuna Dusseldorf would take the lead if they win the match in hand today. They are in third place at only two points from leaders Oberhaussen. The team is in good shape and won four of last five (WWLWW) scoring in them 11 goals against 1 and conceded a 2-0 defeat in the other one. They won last two by 3-0 on Cottbus II and 2-0 away on Hamburg II. I believe they should be able to get a win today on visitors Dynamo Dresden who lost last two to 18th placed Lubeck and Oberhusse without scoring. I take the home win.
