Magdeburg vs Eintracht Frankfurt Predictions

• Each of Magdeburg’s last nine competitive matches produced at least three goals.
• Magdeburg won just two of their last 19 DFB Pokal matches.
• Eight of Frankfurt’s last ten DFB Pokal games produced over 2.5 goals.

Can Magdeburg topple the European champions?

Things are looking good for Magdeburg at the minute, they were promoted from the third-tier last season and have started life in the 2.Bundesliga reasonably well, scoring four goals across their opening two games.

However, welcoming the Europa League champions and potential top-four Bundesliga challengers Eintracht Frankfurt is a different matter altogether!

The overarching theme of late in Magdeburg’s clashes has been goals galore, with 42 goals scored across the last nine matches for a whopping 4.6 per-match average.

Back the visitors to do the business in style

While Magdeburg may find themselves on the scoresheet in what could be an exciting, end-to-end affair, Frankfurt will likely have too much for the hosts to deal with.

Oliver Glasner’s men have looked imperious in pre-season, scoring eight goals across the last two games ahead of this competitive season opener, suggesting that this will be the perfect opportunity to continue that momentum into their huge opening day clash with Bayern Munich.

We predict that Frankfurt will win this game, which is a pretty respectable price on it’s own considering the potential gulf in class, yet we fancy squeezing more value from the selection with the additional caveat of over 2.5 goals. As for the correct score, a comfortable 3-1 away win could be the smart play.
