Magdeburg form and stats

There's been little loot from Magdeburg's travels as they have only collected 10 points from 10 away games in the 2. Bundesliga. Magdeburg only have 3 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 1 draw. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Magdeburg are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

Magdeburg's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Karlsruher SC that finished 1-1. Defender Heber was the best team player with a rating of 7.9. Heber served one assist, hit two key passes and won 7 of 9 duels.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Fortuna Dusseldorf wasn't a success with a 2-3 loss.

The travelling fans enjoy Magdeburg's attacking play in away games, having scored 16 goals in 10 league matches away. The Magdeburg manager Titz has some worries about the defense as 23 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Holstein have not lost in the last 4 games (2-2-0) against Magdeburg.

Here's the end result when the contenders played each other previously this season; Magdeburg - Holstein Kiel 1-2.
