Germany – 2.Bundesliga
Date: Sunday, 2nd December 2018
Kick-off at 12.30 UK/ 13.30 CET
Venue: MDCC-Arena (Magdeburg).
One of the best teams in the league takes on another relegation-battler. Magdeburg hosts Bochum in their 15th round fixture of 2. Bundesliga. The match is on Sunday at the MDCC Arena.
Bochum is the 5th team in the table. They have secured 23 points from their 14 matches. Their record reads six wins, five draws, and three losses. Bochum has managed to score 24 goals so far in their campaign and conceded 16 in return.
Magdeburg is the second-to-last team in the league. They have registered just nine points against their name from their 14 fixtures. All they could manage till now is just one win, six draws and seven losses. They scored 18 goals in the process and conceded 27.
Bochum made a comeback win last weekend against Aue. The final scoreline was 2-1, in favor of the hosts, Bochum. The visitors had gone ahead in the 3rd minute itself. But Bochum held on and scored two late goals to take three points from the match.
Magdeburg wasted a chance to record a tough away win the last match-day. They were on the road against Furth. Magdeburg was leading till the 88th minute by a scoreline of 1-2. But then their defense switched off and allowed two goals right past them.
The visitors are much above in league standings compared to their opponents for the match. Bochum is playing to get promoted to the Bundesliga, while Magdeburg is languishing in the relegation zone.
The hosts have been terrible this season so far. They are currently on a run of eight winless games and have registered just one win in their last 17 matches. They are also winless in their last eight attempts at home.
Bochum is unbeaten in their last six games. They are also trying to improve their away record. And Magdeburg is the perfect prey for the occasion.
Bochum will win the match, and both the halves.
