Jena vs Magdeburg Prediction & Betting tips
“It can not be any worse!” This motto summarizes the start of FC Carl Zeiss Jena in the 2019/20 season quite well. The FCC still has zero points after six games and just two goals at the bottom of the league table. Coach Lukas Kwasniok gets despite the negative series further backing from the responsible. Kwasniok had saved the club in the last season with a great final spurt before relegation.
The match on Monday evening should be trend-setting for the Thuringian and their head coach. The guests will be 1. FC Magdeburg, who has been without defeat for five games and who will play Jena Vs. Magdeburg is sent according to the odds as a clear favorite in the race.
Jena:
After the catastrophic false start FC Carl Zeiss Jena has struck once again in the transfer market during the week: The Austrian central defender Manuel Maranda (Wacker Innsbruck) and Dominic Volkmer, who had already borrowed from Jahn Regensburg to Jena in the second half of the season, are immediately relegated Squad of Thuringia. Reinforcements are also urgently needed at Jena.
With the 0: 3 at SV Meppen it was not enough for the first point of the new season on Matchday 6. After a well-balanced first round Jena had to accept a clear defeat in the end. The residue on the saving bank is already five points. The zero points after six games mean a new negative record in the 3rd league.
But those responsible remain calm and continue to express their confidence in the coach. The home game against Magdeburg, however, could already be a game of fate for Kwasniok. If the FCC loses the seventh of seven games of the season, the club could use the international break for a restart on the coach chair.
Before that, however, Carl Zeiss will once again summon the unit of the last season’s final spurt. At that time, the coach had saved the club despite an eight-point deficit seven games left before the end of the season before relegation. Before the game against Magdeburg Kwasniok now calls the “zero hour”.
The coach sets everything to zero and wants to start over again. At the end of last season, the coach had symbolically set the table to zero and thus had success. In the game against Meppen, Jannis Kübler injured his shoulder and now fails for several months. Matthias Kühne and Justin Schau are also out.
Magdeburg:
The 1st FC Magdeburg seems to have arrived in the third division. The start of the new season was a 2-4 home defeat against Braunschweig in the pants. But since then, the FCM is unbeaten and brought with two wins and three draws nine points. Particularly impressive was certainly the 5-1 home win on the last weekend against 1860 Munich.
Already at break, the hosts had led against harmless sixties with 4-0. After the 1-0 lead, which was created by an own goal of the guests, Magdeburg developed a certain matter of course and played from a piece. Before the match, coach Stefan Krämer had also changed the system from 4-2-3-1 to a 4-4-2 with diamond.
The success against the lions was the first home threesome for the Elbestädter. Away, the Magdeburg are still unbeaten with a win and two draws this season. After four goals on Matchday 1, the FCM had to accept only three goals in the following five games.
With which system does the coach send his players to the field in Jena? According to Krämer, the 4-4-2 is very center-oriented and matches his own ball possession. But this suffers from their own pressing. The base should remain the 4-2-3-1.
