Erfurt vs Magdeburg Prediction & Betting tips
At the end of the first round of the second round, FC Rot-Weiss Erfurt and 1.FC Magdeburg meet on Monday evening in league three. Both teams could not separate, because with this game it comes to the clash of League League light with the leaders. So it’s a relegation battle against promotion races, so that the East duel promises some explosiveness.
The Erfurt want to connect as quickly as possible to connect to the non-relegation places, while the Magdeburg would like to give up their place at the top of the table possible until the end of the season. It will be interesting to see how both teams will present themselves, especially after Rot-Weiss Erfurt has a very turbulent winter break behind it. Our tip is in any case in the direction of Magdeburg.
Erfurt :
The Erfurt never came to rest during the winter break. It was burning in all directions, not only sporty but also financially. Following President Rolf Rombach’s dissatisfaction with the Supervisory Board in November, manager Torsten Traub and coach David Bergner (meanwhile Chemnitzer FC) had to leave. As already third coach of the current season after Stefan Krämer and Bergner took over Stefan Emmerling, which soon followed former international Patrick Helmes as new assistant coach. However, this duo did not manage to rip the oars before the winter break. Two points from three games were too low a yield, that the confidence would have returned to Erfurt. Nor was it possible to bring former absolute top performers such as Carsten Kammlott back on track. That the election ever fell on Emmerling, astonished, as this only last season in a similar situation took over at SC Paderborn and failed with his mission. Just as astonishing that they sorted out the players Christoph Menz (meanwhile changed to Fortuna Köln), Berkay Dabanli and Samir Benamar. All three were with at least 15 preliminary round games quite as a regular player to call and their departure deprives the squad with a manageable individual class further quality.
In addition to the very difficult sporting situation (already six points behind a non-relegation place), Erfurt had to accept the message that the city of Erfurt can not or does not want to be part of the financial rescue. It threatens a point deduction for the current season (which would probably equal the safe athletic descent) and in descent the almost safe bankruptcy. Also, the planned training camp in Turkey was canceled at short notice. It is questionable whether out of this overall situation generates a new mood of optimism – and the connection to the saving shore – can be restored.
Magdeburg :
At 1.FC Magdeburg, on the other hand, there is almost limitless euphoria given the league standings. More than 1000 fans accompanied the Magdeburg in the winter break to the friendly game against England against the Bolton Wanderers. But this impressive number shows the current dazzling mood in the former European Cup Winners’ Cup winner (1974). Everyone longs for the rise to the second Bundesliga, the biggest success since reunification (in addition to the win against Bayern Munich in the DFB Cup competition in 2000). For some years there is continuity in Magdeburg. Manager Mario Kallnik and coach Jens Härtel (extended in the winter break until 2019) were allowed to form a team in peace, which now knocks on the gate to the German lower house.
Despite the unusual training camp, the Magdeburg are well equipped for the game in Erfurt. They want to build on the impressive series of five victories before the winter break. The previous away win with 18 points from nine games can be more than impressive, so that the Magedeburger can accumulate with much confidence and broad chest in Erfurt. With Marcel Costly, the Magdeburg also brought in winter an interesting new signing, who collected in the preliminary round in the Regionalliga Südwest for the second team of the FSV Mainz 05 for a full-back impressive scorer scores eight points.
