Magdeburg vs FC Koeln Prediction and Betting Tips (14.02.2025)

Command Analysis

Magdeburg

Germany

Current form

Before the start of the season, Magdeburg was not among the obvious contenders for a ticket to the Bundesliga – Cologne, Hamburg and Fortuna had a significant advantage in class. However, in the first round, Christian Titz's team proved to be very powerful and claimed a place in the top three, currently occupying the fourth place in the table with 35 points. There is a modest three-point gap between Kaiserslautern and Hamburg, Cologne is five points ahead, such a handicap leaves a decent chance of success, but a whole group of competitors is seriously under pressure from below.

Disqualifications and injuries

Bockhorn, Kuhinya and Musonda are injured.

Interesting betting trends

Magdeburg has not won at home this season yet – seven draws and three defeats.
In the last 10 matches, Magdeburg have scored

Approximate line–up: Reimann - Heber, Mathiesen, Hugonet – Nollenberger, Gnaka, Herher, Michael – Atik, Kaars, Burku.

FC Koeln

Germany

Current form

Before the start of the season, Cologne was considered a clear contender for a direct ticket to the Bundesliga – Gerhard Struber's team had serious superiority in class over all competitors. Despite not having the most stable start, the Goats gradually increased and joined the fight for a direct ticket to the Bundesliga, managing to top the table fairly quickly. However, so far there is no serious gap from the competitors – Hamburg and Kaiserslautern are only two points behind, and today there is a risk of losing the lead. Having beaten Schalke 1-0 in the last round, Cologne got their third victory in a row and their 12th of the season.

Disqualifications and injuries

Christensen, Kilian, Lemperle and Martel are injured.

Interesting betting trends

Cologne have won their last three matches
In the last three away matches, Cologne have conceded

Approximate line–up: Schwabe – Heinz, Martel, Schmid – Pakarada, Olesen, Huseynbazic, Gazibegovic, Ljubicic - Maina, Downs.

Tip and bets

1.99total more than three goals

Magdeburg lost to Nuremberg in the last round, falling out of the top three. At the same time, even in a lost match, they managed to score three goals, Titz's players play aggressive attacking football and are second only to Hamburg in terms of performance. In such a situation, Cologne has a minimum chance of winning back to zero, but at the same time, the goats will also come for a victory and will probably also bet on the attack, knowing about the opponent's vulnerability in defense – the duel will surely turn out to be spectacular and effective.

We believe that the match will be productive. The forecast is a total of more than three goals. This bet is offered with odds of 1.99

1.9Handicap (0) for Cologne

Betting on the outcome

Cologne has gained excellent form and climbed to the top of the table, but it cannot afford to relax – there is a risk not only of losing first place, but also of being completely outside the zone of direct qualification to the Bundesliga. Obviously, the Goats will have plenty of motivation, and today the guests will be ready for all three points. The leader is capable of setting such a task for himself – Magdeburg, despite such a high position in the table, has never won at home, and in general it has problems with stability.

The bet is an Asian handicap (0) on Cologne. This bet is offered for 1.90

Betting on corners

Magdeburg will probably spend a lot of time attacking at home, but Cologne is quite capable of responding, there should be a lot of corners.

The bet is a total of more than 10.5 corners. This bet is offered for 1.99
