There is no dominant side in the matches between Braunschweig and Magdeburg, as both teams won four of the last ten H2H games, with two draws. In the only meeting this season, Braunschweig won 1-0 in Magdeburg.

Braunschweig team overview

Since returning to 2. Bundesliga in 2022, Braunschweig are regularly among the relegation candidates, but always find a way to survive. The team from Eintracht-Stadion hopes for a similar outcome in the current campaign, too. At halfway through the season, Braunschweig are three points above the relegation zone. However, Heiner Backhaus's team found their form lately with three wins and one draw in the last four matches. In the most recent outing, Braunschweig won 2-1 at home against Schalke. The teams were pretty even, but the hosts' better efficiency was enough for all three points.

Since their last match, Braunschweig made three transfers. Christian Conteh was sold for more than 1.5 million euros to Heidenheim, while Mohamed Drager moved to Esperance on a free transfer. On the other hand, Faride Alidou came on loan from Kaiserslautern. We should expect more moves from Braunschweig in the coming weeks.

Braunschweig have some problems with injuries. They will be without Florian Flick, Frederik Jakel, and Lino Tempelmann on Friday against Magdeburg.

Magdeburg team overview

Magdeburg are another relegation candidate. They are one position above the drop zone but have the same number of points as the first team below the line, Fortuna Düsseldorf. Magdeburg improved in their last matches before the winter break with two wins and one draw in three league rounds. In the previous game, they won 3-2 on the road against Kaiserslautern. The guests were brilliant in the first 50 minutes when they had a 3-0 lead. Although Kaiserslautern took control late on and mounted a serious comeback attempt, it came too late to deny Magdeburg a vital three points.

Magdeburg are not so active on the market this transfer window. So far, the club only left Abu-Bekir Omer El-Zein, who went to Ulm. On the other hand, Magdeburg seems interested in Den Bosch's Kevin Monzialo, but it is still unclear whether he will join Magdeburg.

Magdeburg will be without Eldin Dzogovic, Alexander Holmstrom, Luka Hyrylainen, and Samuel Loric on Friday in Braunschweig.

Braunschweig scored eight goals in the last four games, while Magdeburg scored 12 goals in the previous five matches. Although the last H2H game between the two teams ended with only one goal, we should expect a completely different match on Friday evening. Our prediction: Over 2.5 goals.
