Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Following a thrilling 5-3 win over Schalke, Darmstadt will look to keep on climbing the standings when they face Magdeburg in the 2. Bundesliga round 7. The Lilywhites looked sharp in front of goal at the weekend and they are likely to adopt yet another attack-minded approach in Saturday’s game. A man to watch in the away team will be Swedish attacker Isac Lidberg, who scored a hat-trick against die Knappen, while all Paul Will, Matthias Bader, Oscar Vilhelmsson, and Fabian Holland remain on the sidelines with injuries.
Christian Titz’s troops, on the other hand, have been scoring goals for fun of late as well and, taking everything into account, we are about to see goals galore at Merck-Stadion am Bollenfalltor. As for the away team, both Baris Atik and Lubambo Musonda are major doubts (illness), while the likes of Aleksa Marusic, Herbert Bockhorn, and Samuel Loric remain in the recovery room.
