Magdeburg form and stats

Things could have gone better for Magdeburg in their 2. Bundesliga away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Kaiserslautern (placed 6th) in their previous outing. The match ended in a draw 4-4. Drawing 4-4 against Kaiserslautern after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 3-1. Their manager Titz needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result. The attacker Kwarteng got a match rating of 9.22 in that game. Kwarteng scored two goals, served one assist and hit two key passes.

The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-4 defeat against Hannover 96.

Goals galore? This club have played 6 consecutive league matches all featuring three or more goals (over 2.5 goals).

Magdeburg have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 7 goals from 3 away matches.

Head 2 Head

Magdeburg have managed a sequence of 7 consecutive matches without defeat (2-5-0) when playing Paderborn.
