A solid defense is the foundation for top teams to compete at the highest level over the long term,\u201d explains head coach Markus Högner.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Team News<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>All the players coped well with the additional workload during the week. Jacqueline Meißner, who was left out of the squad for the cup match as a precaution, was able to resume full training on Thursday. Marina Scholz is currently dealing with adductor issues. \u201cWe\u2019ll see how it develops and hope she can return to action by next week at the latest,\u201d says Coach Högner.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Opponent<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Last season, MSV Duisburg left no doubt about their promotion to the Regionalliga West. By the end of the season, they had 23 wins out of 24 games in the Niederrheinliga, conceding just seven goals. In addition, MSV recently suffered a narrow 1-2 loss to second-division side Borussia Mönchengladbach in the DFB Cup. The team has earned six points from its first three games in the Regionalliga West, three of which came last weekend in a 5-2 victory over fellow promoted team SV Fortuna Freudenberg.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>The First \u201cUnknown\u201d<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>MSV Duisburg is the first of six opponents that the BVB Women have not yet faced in the Regionalliga West from last season. Nevertheless, some of the players are by no means unknown to Markus Högner due to their shared past at SGS Essen. This includes captain Isabel Hochstein, who played in the Bundesliga for both MSV Duisburg and SGS Essen. \u201cDuisburg will be looking to trip us up, too,\u201d says Markus Högner, \u201cbut that\u2019s something we have to deal with week after week, and we\u2019ll have to push ourselves to the limit in this match as well.\u201d To that end, workload management has been the focus this week. In addition to a light session on Thursday focused on recovery, the team will have Friday off before holding their final training session on Saturday.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The match on the fourth matchday of the Regionalliga West kicks off on Sunday (September 13) at 3:30 p.m. on the grass field at BSA, located at Westender Str. 36 in Duisburg. The stadium and the box office open at 2 p.m.&nbsp;Admission is \u20ac8 (reduced rate \u20ac5); children under 7 get in free.
