Magdeburg against Paderborn: Weakness at home meets the unstoppable league leader!
On December 14, 2024 there will be an exciting duel in the 2nd Bundesliga between 1. FC Magdeburg and the currently leading SC Paderborn in the Avnet Arena. There is a lot at stake for Magdeburg, who have remained winless in their last twelve home games, while Paderborn remain at the top of the table despite a bitter 2-4 defeat against Schalke 04. This is their first defeat after five unbeaten games and shows that there is great pressure on coach Lukas Kwasniok to defend their lead in the table in Magdeburg. However, SC Paderborn is missing some key players, which makes the situation more complicated.
Fight for the points in Magdeburg
The hosts urgently need a home win to end their misery. Since their last home win in February 2024, they have played 12 games without a three-pointer in their own stadium. This home weakness is in stark contrast to their impressive away record. The FCM has only won one of the five early meetings with the league leaders this season (one draw, three defeats) and has been without a win in seven competitive games against Paderborn (six draws, one defeat). Betting base reported.
The betting odds also speak clearly for the guests, some of whom are favored for an away win with odds of 2.38. Statistically speaking, Paderborn have only lost one of their first eight away games this season, which underlines their strength on foreign soil. Magdeburg, on the other hand, is waiting for something of a comeback in the home arena after only being able to get a third of their shots on target in the league so far. Further details about the betting forecast and odds can be found at Sports1.
Both teams expect a hard-fought game, with the high tendency towards draws between these two teams fitting perfectly into the form curves of both clubs. Given Magdeburg's weakness at home and Paderborn's unbeaten streak in recent duels, an exciting and nerve-wracking game is in prospect.
