Magdeburg form and stats

Overall 3. Liga stats at home this season for Magdeburg are 4-2-5 (wins-draw-losses). Game days at MDCC-Arena have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Magdeburg as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.

The Magdeburg crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-2 to Meppen here at MDCC-Arena in a 3. Liga match. Before that, Magdeburg played out a draw 1-1 when visiting Waldhof Mannheim.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Magdeburg matches with similar probabilities have ended with two wins, zero draws and one defeat (from three games).

A decent goal production from Magdeburg in their home games so far, with 17 goals from 11 league matches. Magdeburg's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 14 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Chemnitzer FC form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Chemnitzer FC so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-6 (win-draw-lose).

Chemnitzer FC are travelling after their nice 3-0 home win in the 3. Liga against Hallescher FC (placed 10th). Ahead of that match was the victory versus Meppen at their stadium, the result 2-1.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Chemnitzer FC playing away, we found four games. Results were one away win, one draw and two home wins.

Chemnitzer FC are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 18 times in 11 away games so far. The Chemnitzer FC manager P. Glöckner has some worries about the defense as 24 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head
