Team News

Magdeburg
FC Koln
  • Magdeburg will be without both Herbert Bockhorn and Emir Kuhinja for Friday's game against FC Köln with both players managing long-term injuries.
  • Daniel Heber struggled at the back against Nürnberg last weekend and may be dropped for Samuel Loric.
  • Christian Titz could make one further change with Connor Krempicki returning to partner Silas Gnaka in midfield.
  • Centre-back Timo Hübers served a yellow card suspension in gameweek 21 and may be recalled to the starting XI on Friday.
  • Striker Tim Lemperle is still struggling with a fitness issue, so Damion Downs and Linton Maina should both start here.
  • Eric Martel is a doubt for Gerhard Struber's side after picking up a knock against Schalke.

Prediction

  • Magdeburg recovered from 3-1 down to level in the 78th minute against Nürnberg last weekend, but a stoppage-time Julian Justvan goal undid FCM's hard work. Christian Titz's men were unbeaten in six before that defeat, but have now lost significant ground to the top three sides.
  • FC Köln maintained their position at the top of the 2.Bundesliga last weekend as Damion Downs' 43rd-minute goal proved enough to see off a struggling Schalke side at the RheinEnergieSTADION. Die Geißböcke have now won six of their last seven league games and five of their last six on the road.
