Magdeburg vs Mannheim Prediction & Betting tips
Every beginning is hard. Especially as Zweitligaabsteiger in the 3rd league. These experiences had to make the 1. FC Magdeburg for the beginning of the season 2019/20. At the start there was a 2-4 home defeat for Braunschweig for FCM. And also on the second match day, it was only enough for the somewhat lucky 0: 0 at FSV Zwickau. Magdeburg has not arrived in the 3rd league after the big change. Currently, the team occupies only 17th place. Is there the first win of the season on Wednesday evening?
Opponent in the MDCC Arena is the SV Waldhof Mannheim. After many close failed attempts, the Mannheim have finally risen to the 3rd league. And the Kurpfälzer have come to stay. In the first two games against Chemnitz and Meppen, which both ended with a draw, the climber was a tough and unpleasant opponent. If you look before the match Magdeburg vs. Mannheim on the odds, the Zweitligaabsteiger at home against the promoted is not surprisingly the favorite. But the betting base comes to a different conclusion and sets the duel against Magdeburg.
Magdeburg:
Many Zweitligaabsteiger belong after the descent equal to the big favorites for the resurgence. Not so the 1st FC Magdeburg. At the Elbe, they plan to be more sustainable and want to play second-rate within one to three years. After the big upheaval with 17 departures and eleven new entries, this cautious goal certainly makes sense. In addition, with Stefan Krämer a new coach at FCM has the say.
Kramer had recently coached the KFC Uerdingen and stands for courageous attacking football. How rough it can be in the third league, learned Magdeburg on the first match day with a 2-4 home defeat against Eintracht Braunschweig. Here one noticed the relegated still voting problems in the defensive and a general uncertainty. In the second game at FSV Zwickau, the team of coach Krämer was very difficult.
Especially in the first round against the FSV the relegated could be very happy with the lucky 0: 0. Magdeburg had begun in the 4-3-3 against the swans. Outside, the guests were very vulnerable. Only in the second round and the switch to a 3-5-2 FC came into play better. It is questionable with which system the Elbestädter go into the game against Mannheim. The Kurpfälzer should only compete with a striker. Whether a triple chain makes sense here?
In addition, central defender Tobias Müller had in the closing stages against the swans after a collision from the square. Whether he can play on Wednesday is still unclear. He was replaced in the last minutes by 20-year-old Philipp Harant. Dustin Bomheuer will miss the game due to injury. Rother still sits his red card from the game against Braunschweig. Assistant coach Silvio Bankert, who also had a red card against Eintracht at the start, is allowed to sit on the bench again after being locked in the interior.
Mannheim:
For 16 long years SV Waldhof Mannheim had disappeared in the sinking of amateur football. This time is finally over with the 2019/20 season. After the regional league championship last year, the Kurpfälzer could keep the team together except for Marco Meyerhöfer (Fürth) and Timo Kern (Bayern II). Especially important was the whereabouts of Valmir Sulejmani, who had been responsible for 18 goals and 12 assists in the 2018/19 season.
Thus, the SVW with a well-rehearsed and homogeneous troupe in the new season. Coach Bernhard Trares likes to play his team offensively and courageously in the 4-2-3-1 system. So the Waldhof was not only sovereign with a lead of 21 points champions of the Regionalliga Südwest, but scored in 34 games also 88 goals. The Mannheimers were particularly strong away. The Kurpfälzer survived the last season without bankruptcy on the opponent’s place. In the guest appearances, there were 15 wins and only two draws.
If Mannheim could take its away strength with in the 3rd league, the duel Magdeburg against Mannheim would make a prognosis on a success of the guests quite meaningful. For the start it was enough for the men of coach Trares in Chemnitz only to 1: 1, although the guests, especially in the first round had a clear chance advantage. With an own goal, Mannheim brought the CFC back into play in the second round. After that SVW had lost some of its own momentum and drive.
Also on Matchday 2, the Waldhof had numerous chances in the game against Meppen, all of which could not be used. In addition, the hosts played 65 minutes in the majority. In Magdeburg, the coach has to do without the injured Bouziane, Just, Korte and Weissenfels. In addition, the diseased Arianit Ferati missed the game. The newcomer from Bielefeld Max Christiansen is not yet in the starting lineup.
