Magdeburg against Fürth: playoff for the first home win!

This Sunday, August 31, 2025, there is an exciting clash on the agenda in the 2nd Bundesliga: 1. FC Magdeburg welcomes SpVgg Greuther Fürth in the Avnet Arena at 1:30 p.m. Both teams are currently in the bottom of the table and urgently need points.

1. FC Magdeburg has had a rather bumpy start to the season. They have only managed to collect three points in the first three games of the season and are currently in 15th place in the table. In the last five matches they only won two times and lost three times. The defense, on the other hand, is a cause for concern as it has allowed 56 shots on goal, the most in the league. Of course, they need their last point win at home to turn things around.

Fürth also under pressure

The guests from Fürth are not in much better shape. With just one point from their last six away games and an overall weak record of one defeat from their last two encounters, they are fighting for every opportunity to make up ground in the fight to stay in the league. They are currently in 13th place with three points. In the three games of the season so far they have scored five goals, but have also conceded seven goals - a defensive weakness that urgently needs to be remedied if they don't want to get stuck in the bottom of the table.

The last meeting between the two teams ended in a 2-2 draw, which underlines the recently balanced games between these two teams. In the last five competitive games there were four draws and one win for Fürth. This record makes it clear that both teams know each other and know how they have to act in order to take something home.

Forecasts and betting odds

The betting enthusiasts have made various predictions for today's game. The main recommendation is to bet on a home win for Magdeburg with odds of 1.85, which could be a good deal. The possibility of a goal from Magdeburg's attacker Martijn Kaars, who has already contributed two of the three goals this season, is also highlighted. Supporting betting suggestions include “Over 3.5 Goals” and “Both Teams to Score” with odds of 1.50.

The game promises to be exciting and could well contain a lot of goals, considering that both defense lines are vulnerable to opposing counterattacks. The pressure on Magdeburg's coach Fiedler is growing, while Fürth's coach Kleine is also required to find the necessary stability in defense.

With so much tension in the air and the need for both teams to gain ground, it's worth looking at how this game unfolds. It remains to be seen whether 1. FC Magdeburg will be able to use their home advantage.
