Zwickau vs Magdeburg Prediction & Betting tips
Can a team with a winning streak in preparation prepare for self-reliance? If so, then the FSV Zwickau has done in any case. Eight successes in series are now in the book – starting with the 2: 0 on the final day of the preseason against Prussia Münster. After six successes in the preparation followed the 2-0 on the first match a week ago in Meppen. In any case, this run of the team of Joe Enochs will not have hurt.
However, the bookmakers, who, despite this series between Zwickau and Magdeburg, have chosen the odds for a prediction in this game, are less impressed that the guests from Saxony-Anhalt are in the favorites role. To complicate the good run of the hosts is added that the FCM lost the first game of the season at home against Braunschweig with 2: 4 and ranked at the bottom of the table. Now it is important to find out if this was just a slip-up of the downer or if the Blue-and-White threatens a similar season as last Eintracht Braunschweig in the table cellar.
The red card, which Björn Rother caught in the closing stages against the Löwen from Lower Saxony and which now has to be rebuilt into the back four, is certainly not exactly conducive to the stability of the guests. The omens speak for the home side, who would like to score three times with their own audience in the back at the GGZ Arena. The game will be led by experienced Robert Kempter from Stockach.
Zwickau:
The swans from Zwickau have, as almost every third division, in summer a more or less major change behind. Antonitsch, Odabas, Bonga, Lauberbach, Wachsmuth, Beyer and Gaul are some of the prominent departures that have left large gaps, especially on the defensive. The newcomers include Odabas, Huth, Härtel, Jäpel, Viteritti, Jensen or Handke.
It’s not about going into each transfer individually. The actors were hired for various parts of the team and have to get used to their new employer quickly. Joe Enochs has promised to give every player in the squad a fair chance in preparation and this prospect has apparently motivated his charges. Zwickau could win all friendly matches and the coach had a week ago so the agony of choice in the lineup.
Apparently he has found the right mix of new and proven players, finally, the FSV succeeded a 2-0 away win in Meppen to start. Among the six new names in the starting eleven was also Gerrit Wegkamp from the Sportfreunde Lotte. He marked the opening goal. Later, Joker König made the decision, defensively the swans were over 90 minutes very compact and left hardly opportunities to score the opponent.
After this strong performance, there is little evidence for coach Enochs to change his successful team. With Mike Könnecke currently only one player in the squad is missing due to injury, otherwise all men are on board and hot on further successes. A second three for Zwickau against Magdeburg and the prognosis can be ventured that the Saxons settle for the start of the season in the upper third of the table.
Magdeburg:
That’s not how Stefan Krämer imagined his start in Saxony-Anhalt. On the first match day, the coach and his team conceded a 2-4 defeat at home in the MDCC arena against Eintracht Braunschweig. In addition, the red card against his assistant Silvio Bankert in the closing stages, which thus receives a ban on the interior of the DFB against Zwickau. Even more serious than the loss of the co-coach weighs the dismissal of center-back Björn Rother, who received a ban for three games.
Now, despite the already large defensive problems, it is time to change the defensive chain early in the season. All this is not optimal. However, after a game day, the church must also be left in the village. The FCM could provide peace on Sunday with an away win in Zwickau again. How the coach is concerned about the difficult task away from home is an open question. Against the Lower Saxony runners-up with Jürgen Gjasula, Mario Kvesic and Sören Betram. Otherwise, the basic structure in the team remained the same for the relegated.
This also means that in the attack captain and top scorer Christian Beck leads the team again as captain on the field. The Goalgetter was also able to register directly in the scoresheet, which did not prevent the failure of the kick-off. In addition to the suspended Rother missing Stefan Krämer with Dustin Bomheuer and the young Anthony Roczen two other players injured. Especially Bomheuer would be urgently needed on the defensive. So now could the 22-year-old Brian Kogling come to his third division debut in central defense alongside Tobias Müller. This is of course already a small risk factor and the whole question mark between Zwickau and Magdeburg, the quotas on the part of the guests already appear a bit low. Perhaps the bookmakers overestimate the FCM a little and it takes a few more weeks until the co-favorite arrives in terms of promotion in the new league.
