Magdeburg vs Saarbrucken Prediction & Betting tips
For now, Magdeburg is no longer in the bottom of the third division. The blue-whites gave up the red lantern last weekend, but are still stuck in the table cellar with only 15 points on the account. On Tuesday evening, the problem child from Saxony-Anhalt will now play the home game against the weak Saarlanders.
Most recently, 1. FC Magdeburg remained unbeaten five times in a row, but there was only one win to celebrate for the blue-whites. The FCM now also wants to expand this series in the home game against the newly promoted Saarbrücken. The best bookmakers see Magdeburg against Saarbrücken according to odds as a slight outsider.
The assessment is by no means surprising, after all, the black and blue guests from the Saarland got off to a strong start to the season and only buckled towards the end of the year. Compared with the Magdeburgers, the points yield of the Saarlanders can be seen accordingly.
As sixth in the table, the newcomer has 26 points to book, so the gap to third in the table from Munich is only four points.

Magdeburg :
For the hosts from Saxony-Anhalt, the 2020/21 season is currently not going according to plan. Since the beginning of the season, the blue-whites have only been on a non-relegation zone for one match day, since then the Magdeburg have been in the red zone of the third division. Nevertheless, the board is currently continuing to rely on head coach Thomas Hoßmang, who has been in office since the summer of last year.
Recently, the blue-whites from Magdeburg saw a slight upward trend, after all, the team around Hoßmang remained unbeaten five times in a row. With the division of points against KFC Uerdingen last weekend, the red lantern in the league could initially be given up.
However, Thomas Hoßman was less pleased with the latest appearance of his team. In the meantime, the blue-whites were not only in the lead, but could also not take advantage of the majority game in the final phase.
As was the case for the entire season, there was a lack of penetration in the attack department. 1. FC Magdeburg is currently the weakest offensive in the third division with only 14 goals on its books. On average, the blue-whites have less than one goal per league game.
In the eight home games of the current season, Hoßmang’s team had a record of 2-3-3. Most recently, the hosts from Saxony-Anhalt remained unbeaten four times in a row, including a surprising draw against fourth place in the table from Rostock.
Four players will miss the home game on Tuesday evening due to injury. Big changes compared to the starting eleven against KFC Uerdingen are not expected.
Saarbrücken :
In the meantime, 1. FC Saarbrücken was at the top of the table in the 3rd division for eleven match days, but since then things have been steadily downhill for the Saarlanders. Most recently, the newcomer remained without a win seven times in a row, including the most recent away defeat at SV Meppen. Coach Lukas Kwasniok remains optimistic despite the form crisis.
Compared to the strong performances at the beginning of the season, there is room for improvement, but there is no reason to panic with the current table situation. During the week, the Saarlanders want to end the current crisis at FCM with an away win and thus make the leap to fourth place in the table.
The team of head coach Kwasniok had a record of 3-2-3 in eight away games abroad. In the last three away games, the Saarlanders remained without a win, including two away defeats in a row.
Among other things, the current crisis is due to the weak defensive behavior of the Saarlanders. Since the away win against Viktoria Köln in November last year, FCS have conceded at least one goal in every match.
The away game against the weakest offensive team in the third division comes in handy for the newcomer. It is quite possible that the Saarlanders will show a defiant reaction and end the current crisis in the table penultimate. Kwasniok will have to complain about four failures at the away game in Saxony-Anhalt.
After the weak performance at SV Meppen, changes in the starting XI of the Saarlanders cannot be ruled out.
