German 2.Bundesliga
2025-10-05 - Magdeburg vs SV Elversberg
A Sports Betting Pick by Niko
Football; Germany: 2.Bundesliga
Avnet Arena – Magdeburg
Sunday, 05th October 2025 - kickoff 13:30 CET
Magdeburg
Six defeats in seven 2.Bundesliga games nailed Magdeburg in the last position on the table. Last week’s 1-0 defeat away at Karlsruher SC was their fifth in a row, so things do not look good for them this season.
Besides losing games, Magdeburg also has trouble scoring. They failed to score a single goal in any of their last three defeats. They did create some chances last week, which is a positive sign, but their finishing remains poor.
Perhaps one thing that could motivate them for this fixture is that they remained unbeaten in both duels against SV Elversberg last season, drawing 0-0 at home and winning 2-5 away.
SV Elversberg
SV Elversberg sits second on 2.Bundesliga table before the start of this round, and they are one of the teams with the best form currently.
They won 1-0 against Holstein Kiel last week, which was their fifth straight unbeaten match (four wins). That’s the longest unbeaten series currently in 2.Bundesliga, so they travel to Magdeburg with high confidence.
Even more impressively, SV Elversberg have won 8 of their last 10 league matches, which shows they are consistently good since the end of last season.
They also won their last two away games against Hertha Berlin (0-2) and Eintracht Braunschweig (1-4), which once again makes them favourites in this duel.
The Betting Verdict
I don’t see how Magdeburg can get out of their crisis with points against in-form SV Elversberg.
The odds on the away win are incredibly big and valuable, but my gut feeling is not so sure on the away win.
I believe SV Elversberg will win this game, but will throw in the draw as a possible outcome, purely based on a gut feeling that Magdeburg may frustrate them a lot here due to the high pressure on them for points.
The Pick :
Magdeburg 1-2 SV Elversberg
FIXED ODDS BETTING TIP :
Take SV Elversberg to win or draaw (X2) at odds of 1.50 at Bet365
