Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
In-form Koln will look to extend their winning run to three games when they face Magdeburg at their Rhein-Energie-Stadion on Saturday evening. The Billy Goats were scoring goals for fun before the international break and they are likely to adopt yet another attack-minded approach this weekend. All Mark Uth, Jacob Christensen, Florian Kainz, Max Finkgrafe, and Luca Kilian should miss out with injuries for the home side.
Magdeburg, on the other hand, rolled over Nurnberg 4-0 in their last league match to move closer to the automatic promotion places. Given their attacking potential, a high-scoring affair is on the cards at Rhein-Energie-Stadion on Matchday 5. In their last meeting at the venue Koln defeated Magdeburg 3-0. As for the away team, all Marcus Mathisen, Samuel Loric, Aleksa Marusic, and Herbert Bockhorn miss out with injuries. Duo Bryan Teixeira – Lubambo Musonda is out of contention as well with different reasons.
