Hansa Rostock

LWWLWL

Hansa Rostock will be looking for an improved result here after the 4-0 Bundesliga 2 loss in their previous game against Hertha Berlin.

In that match, Hansa Rostock managed 45% possession and 12 attempts at goal with 3 of them on target. At the other end, Hertha BSC got 16 shots on goal with 8 on target. Palkó Dárdai (18', 59'), Fabian Reese (31') and Haris Tabaković (86') scored for Hertha Berlin.

A recurring aspect of recent Hansa Rostock games is seeing a zero in the scoreline.

Taking their prior sextet of clashes leading up to this one, in as many as 5 of them a bet on both teams scoring would've been a loser.

Coming into this fixture, Hansa Rostock haven't been defeated in their previous 2 league matches at home.

Magdeburg

DLLLDD 📉

Previously, Magdeburg drew 2-2 in the Bundesliga 2 match with Hamburg.

In that game, Magdeburg had 55% possession and 14 shots on goal with 8 on target. The only player to score for Magdeburg was Mo El Hankouri (26', 45'). On the other side, Hamburg got 22 attempts at goal with 8 on target. Sebastian Schonlau (67') and Jonas Meffert (94') scored for Hamburg.

A tendency of at least one team drawing a blank in games involving Magdeburg has been fairly consistent recently. A glance at their last 6 meetings shows that it’s occurred 5 times. During these clashes, opposing sides have hit a goal total of 13 while Magdeburg have scored 2. Such a trend isn’t assured to be continued here, though.

Going into this one, Magdeburg are without an away win for the past 6 league games.

🗞️ Team News: Hansa Rostock

Lukas Scherff (Muscle injury) and Elias Höftmann (Cruciate ligament tear) will be missing for Hansa Rostock boss Mersad Selimbegović.

We think that Hansa will probably make use of the 3-4-2-1 formation this time and select Markus Kolke, Jonas David, Damian Rossbach, K. Stafylidis, Nico Neidhart, Dennis Dressel, Sebastian Vasiliadis, John-Patrick Strauß, Kai Proger, Svante Ingelsson and Júnior Brumado.

📰 Team News: Magdeburg

Magdeburg manager Christian Titz has to currently contend with reduced team options. Luc Castaignos (Hamstring injury), Xavier Amaechi (Knee problems), Connor Krempicki (Knee problems), Jean Hugonet (Shoulder injury) and Julian Pollersbeck (Torn muscle bundle) can’t be considered.

We reckon that Magdeburg might begin the game with a 3-4-3 system with a starting lineup of Dominik Reimann, Tobias Müller, Daniel Elfadli, Daniel Heber, Herbert Bockhorn, Amara Conde, Silas Gnaka, Leon Bell Bell, Mo El Hankouri, Jan Luca Schuler and Baris Atik.

💭 Prediction

It’s looking like Magdeburg and Hansa Rostock should both be able to score here although it’s hard to pick a clear winner.

Little in this one, and it’s almost too close to call. Therefore, we predict a close game with a 1-1 scoreline at the end of this game.
