📋 Team News: Magdeburg

Connor Krempicki (muscular problems), Herbert Bockhorn (Fitness), Mohammed El Hankouri (Fitness), Dariusz Stalmach (Capsular injury) and Emir Kuhinja (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be playing for Magdeburg manager Christian Titz.

We think that Magdeburg will possibly employ a 4-4-2 system for this one, handing starts to Dominik Reimann, Jean Hugonet, Marcus Mathisen, Daniel Heber, Lubambo Musonda, A. Nollenberger, Abu-Bekir El-Zein, Livan Burcu, Silas Gnaka, Baris Atik and Martijn Kaars.

ℹ️ Team News: Fortuna Dusseldorf

We reckon that Fortuna might utilise a 4-2-3-1 formation, starting Florian Kastenmeier, Matthias Zimmermann, Tim Oberdorf, Jamil Siebert, Nicolas Gavory, Giovanni Haag, Moritz Heyer, Shinta Appelkamp, I. B. Johannesson, Myron van Brederode and Dawid Kownacki.

⚡ Prediction

Our thinking is that Fortuna Dusseldorf and Magdeburg may well end up cancelling each other out here.

There shouldn’t be much in it, and a high-scoring draw looks to be quite a realistic result. We’re therefore tipping a very even match with a draw after 90 minutes.
