Season ticket holders at MDCC-Arena haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Magdeburg languishing in the 14th position so far. The guesting Viktoria Köln will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Magdeburg and Viktoria Köln.
Magdeburg form and stats
5-4-6 (win-draw-lost) are the 3. Liga numbers at home for Magdeburg so far this season.
The fans are hoping that Magdeburg will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-3 away loss in the 3. Liga game against Hansa Rostock (placed 5th). In the match before that, Magdeburg hosted Uerdingen and drew the game 1-1.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Magdeburg have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found ten games) they have won four times, drawn one and lost five.
There will be little rest for Magdeburg after this match as they are travelling to Hallescher FC for a 3. Liga game in only three days.
Magdeburg have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at MDCC-Arena with 24 goals in 15 league matches. 18 goals have been conceded.
Viktoria Köln form and stats
5 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses. That’s the product of Viktoria Köln playing as the away team in the 3. Liga this season. Viktoria has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
Home advantage was not enough for Viktoria in their previous game, as they lost their 3. Liga-match, hosting Meppen, 1-3. A 1-2 defeat away at Waldhof Mannheim before that.
We have checked recent matches where Viktoria Köln have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those ten games were one victory, five draws and four defeats.
A new game in only three days for Viktoria, the 3. Liga home match versus 1860 München. Busy days.
The Viktoria manager P. Dotchev has got the team scoring on the road, with 30 away goals in 15 league matches. The Viktoria manager P. Dotchev has some worries about the defense as 33 goals have been conceded in these travels.
