The hosts go into the match having won all of their last 5 home games.

These home players are playing some good football and they're making new fans in the process.

They'll not be expecting to give much away in this one.

The attacking form shown by Magdeburg has been short of quality. They netted an average of just 0.6 goals in their last 10 matches. Despite these stats suggesting they are struggling to find form, the visitors should not be entirely ruled out. Those could be famous last words though.
