Magdeburg form and stats
Magdeburg's struggle is real here at MDCC-Arena with only 9 points collected from 11 3. Liga games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-3-6. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Magdeburg with their four defeats in a row. Not since the MSV Duisburg game, 31 days ago, have they avoided a loss. With Magdeburg having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager T. Hoßmang.
Preceding that match was a defeat to Dynamo Dresden (0-1).
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Magdeburg have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found nine matches with the results: Won one, drawn six and lost two.

Verl form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their 3. Liga travels is 5 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats.
There might be some fixture complaints from Verl as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the 3. Liga match against Hansa Rostock (2-3). Before that, Verl secured a home win against Meppen with the score 3-1.
Leading 2-0 was not enough for Verl in their fight with Hansa Rostock last time out. Happy faces soon turned sour as mistakes flourished in what ended up a 2-3 loss. Late heartbreak for Verl in the Hansa Rostock match, as the deciding 2-3 goal came deep into overtime.
