Osnabruck vs FC MagdeburgPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Matchday one left both teams pointless, though what they showed was very different. VfL Osnabrück went down 4-3 away from home and still put three goals on the board, while Magdeburg were pulled apart in front of their own supporters, beaten 1-6, and now sit eighteenth on 0 points with the hosts fourteenth. Of the pair, only Osnabrück have given a sign of life going forward: three goals scored on the road on the opening weekend counts for something, even with four conceded at the other end. Magdeburg's ninety minutes brought one goal for and six against. Neither club has played at its own ground yet this season, and the division has begun at 3.27 goals per game. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off.
