Magdeburg
Magdeburg has lost some ground in the Bundesliga promotion race, collecting just two points in the last three games. They played a goalless draw against solid Hannover 96 last week, lacking efficiency and some luck to get points.
Now, they are facing their direct rivals for promotion, Kaiserslautern, who are sitting in third spot and three points above Magdeburg. That means Magdeburg must attack at all costs to get points, or they will fall further behind.
Magdeburg’s coach, Titz, is trying not to put pressure on his team, calming them down so they don't look at the table. However, based on recent performances, Magdeburg still lacks something extra to be a proper Bundesliga candidate.
Interestingly, despite sitting fifth in the 2.Bundesliga, Magdeburg is the second-worst home side, failing to win 11 of their 13 home games. However, they improved lately and won twice in their most recent three in their stadium.
Kaiserslautern
Kaiserslautern has shown mixed results in recent weeks, winning twice, drawing twice, and losing twice. However, they achieved a spectacular 3-1 win over Fortuna Dusseldorf last weekend, significantly boosting their confidence before the final stretch.
Kaiserslautern are a team that scores a lot and concedes a lot, and they played better at home than on away grounds. Kaiserslautern lost three of their last five on the road, including their most recent two against Hamburger SV and SC Paderborn.
The Betting Verdict
I think Kaiserslautern can win this game at excellent odds, so those looking for valuable and riskier bets should consider that option.
However, I would go with a safer bet on goals. In five of the last six duels between the sides, four or more goals were scored, including their duel this season, which ended in a 2-2 draw.
Goals in both nets are on the cards again, so back both teams to score in the match.
The Pick :
Magdeburg 1-2 Kaiserslautern
