Magdeburg

DLLDLL 📉

Since tasting defeat last time out to Hansa Rostock in Bundesliga 2 competition, Magdeburg and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.

In that match, Magdeburg had 69% possession and 17 attempts at goal with 8 of them on target. For Magdeburg, the goalscorers were Herbert Bockhorn (4') and Connor Krempicki (86' Own goal). Hansa Rostock had 14 attempts on goal with 2 on target. Dennis Dressel (46') scored for Hansa Rostock.

Magdeburg have seen success in front of goal leading up to this encounter, having scored 7 goals in their last 6 matches. This doesn’t mask the fact that Magdeburg can also improve defensively after being scored against in 6 of those same outings. That kind of pattern isn’t assured to be continued here, though.

A look at their previous results shows us that Magdeburg:

• haven't been defeated by Osnabruck in away games against them for the last 2 league games.
• haven’t won away from home in the past 5 league matches.

ℹ️ Team News: Osnabruck

The Osnabruck boss Tobias Schweinsteiger will be grateful not to have any fitness concerns to speak of coming into this game with a completely injury-free group available to choose from.

It looks as if Osnabruck should line up in a 4-3-3 formation for this game with Lennart Grill, Bashkim Ajdini, Maxwell Gyamfi, Niklas Wiemann, Florian Kleinhansl, Lukas Kunze, M. Thalhammer, Robert Tesche, Noel Niemann, Erik Engelhardt and Christian Conteh.

ℹ️ Team News: Magdeburg

Magdeburg boss Christian Titz has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Jean Hugonet (Fitness), Jason Ceka (Torn ankle ligaments), Julian Pollersbeck (Back problems), Eldin Dzogovic (Muscle injury) and Mohammed El Hankouri (Fitness) are not ready for selection. Daniel Elfadli is ineligible for this match because of suspension.

We believe Magdeburg could decide to play in a 3-4-3 formation by sending out Dominik Reimann, Cristiano Piccini, Andi Hoti, Daniel Heber, Herbert Bockhorn, Amara Conde, Connor Krempicki, Silas Gnaka, Ahmet Arslan, Jan Luca Schuler and Baris Atik.

🧠 Prediction

When taking all factors into account, Magdeburg have the ability to be able to create a high number of chances and successful shots on target.

Conversely, Osnabruck may well find it hard to break down their defence but we do see them seeing enough of the ball to score, too.

We reckon that it will be a 1-3 winning score for Magdeburg at the end of the match.
