Magdeburg:
Magdeburg has a good chance of promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga this season. After the Sachsen hitchhiker just missed the climb in the last two seasons, it will now finally work this season. After the first round, the Elbestädter had a lead of seven counters in third place. At the beginning of the second half of the season it was not round. From the first three games of the year 2018, there was only one point. So you can find the FCM in the second half of the table with 14 points from nine games only on place 11. Meanwhile, Magdeburg has caught something again. On the 29th matchday at home there was a 6: 1 against Aalen. Of the last six games of the 1st FCM could win four, drew once and lost at Hansa Rostock (0: 1). Basically, the Härtel-Elf showed in this season after defeats often the right reaction and then launched a series of six, four and five wins in a row.
Especially in the MDCC arena, the home side are strong. In 14 home games Magdeburg conceded only one defeat and two draws. The rest was won. There were only eight goals, which is the second best value of the league. 30 home goals are the third best value throughout the league. A total of only 27 goals are the best value after the KSC (22 goals). With a total of 48 goals, the FCM is also the third best offensive in the league. During the week Magdeburg won the regional cup quarter-final against Halle (1: 0). Coach Härtel had spared regulars like goalkeeper Jan Glinker and the defenders André Hainault and Björn Rother or the offensive players Philipp Türpitz and Christian Beck late came on. Injured missing are players like Felix Schiller, Michel Niemeyer and Tarek Chahed.
Osnabrück:
After the 0: 1 derby defeat at home against Prussia Munster last weekend, VfL still can not get rid of all the worries about promotion. For three games, the purple-white wait for a victory. The last two games were lost 0-1. Osnabrück’s catch-up game during the week in Erfurt fell again. The team of coach Daniel Thioune is only in 16th place in the away table. VfL only managed to win two out of 14 games.
In addition to four draws, there were eight defeats. On the opponent’s place could reach the Lower Saxony only ten goals, which is the second worst value of the league. In the second half are the Osnabrücker with twelve points on the 14th place in the table. Thus, the men of coach Thioune have collected in the reverse series only two fewer than the FCM. Of the last ten away games VfL but could win only one, two times played draw. The employments of goalkeeper Gersbeck (muscle crushing), Reimerink (infection) and Iyoha (ankle injury) against Magdeburg are still questionable. Definitely will be Christian Bickel and Halil Savran.
