Magdeburg form and stats

5-3-7 (win-draw-lost) are the 2. Bundesliga numbers at home for Magdeburg so far this season.

The home team returns to MDCC-Arena after drawing with Heidenheim (placed 2nd) on their last time out; the game ended 0-0. Magdeburg's goalie Reimann played a big part in securing a draw after 90 minutes against Heidenheim with a stunning seven saves. Reimann, who guards the goal, was given a match rating of 9.31 out of 10 in that game. Reimann topped it up with a clean sheet.

Before that game, the 3-2 home victory against Hamburger SV.

This is expected to be a close game, with Magdeburg perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Magdeburg as a small favourite), we find 5 games. Magdeburg has won 1 of these, drawn 1 and lost 3.

Lots of goals? Who knows the future, but we do know that 9 of the 12 latest league matches with this team has seen three or more goals.

The Magdeburg fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 17 in 15 matches. 20 goals have been conceded.

Nürnberg form and stats

There's been little loot from Nürnberg's travels as they have only collected 10 points from 15 away games in the 2. Bundesliga. Nürnberg only have 2 wins to counter their 9 defeats and 4 draws. Nürnberg has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

There were no winners in Nürnberg's previous match, the home game that ended 3-3 vs Kaiserslautern (placed 7th). It looked so good for Nürnberg vs Kaiserslautern, but the job was not completed and victory was lost as a 2-0 lead was turned into a 3-3 draw. Midfielder Dæhli was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.11. Dæhli scored one goal, served one assist, hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 3 of 5 times and had 38 successful passes (of 41 total).

Preceding that game, the 0-3 loss visiting Hannover 96's place.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Nürnberg playing away and similar expectations, we found 16 relevant matches. Results were 5 Nürnberg wins, 3 draws and 8 defeats.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Nürnberg as they have only managed to score 11 times from 15 away games in the league.
