Team News

Magdeburg
Paderborn
  • Christian Titz could return to a 4-3-3 system for the visit of Paderborn on Friday evening following a disappointing defeat against Schalke last time out.
  • Cristiano Piccini and Herbert Bockhorn could both step into the back four, while Daniel Heber is suspended.
  • Paderborn boss Lukas Kwasniok could opt for an unchanged starting XI as his side kicks off this weekend's 2.Bundesliga action.
  • Max Rohr joins a four-man injury list for Paderborn ahead of their trip to the MDCC-Arena.

Prediction

  • A late Daniel Heber red card saw Magdeburg come undone against Schalke as a 3-2 lead turned into a 4-3 defeat away at the VELTINS-Arena. Christian Titz's side were unbeaten in their opening five league games ahead of that defeat but have dropped to fifth ahead of the visit of Paderborn.
  • Friday's visitors put some distance between themselves and the bottom three last Friday night as they came from behind to beat newly promoted Wehen Wiesbaden thanks to two goals early in the second half. The away side have still won just twice this season though and have lost two of their first three away fixtures in the 2.Bundesliga.
