Magdeburg will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 2-0 away win against Hansa Rostock.  They achieved 47% possession in that match and had 10 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Hansa Rostock's tally of 9 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.  

Manager Christian Titz will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 13 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 4 goals they managed at the other end.   Although failing to score in 4 of their last 6 games, they may have turned a corner having won their last 1, but they have conceded a goal in 12 of their 15 home games this season.  

Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.

Osnabruck boss Uwe Koschinat will need to instil positive feelings within his team after they endured a 3-0 home mauling from Eintracht Braunschweig.  Their share of possession in that meeting was 63%, while racking up 17 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target. Eintracht Braunschweig had 10 shots on goal with 7 on target.  

Koschinat will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 14 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 5 goals they've managed to net.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.  

Despite picking up some valuable points from 2 wins, the 4 lost matches from 6 will be the main concern for them.  

With 3 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Osnabruck, Erik Engelhardt will be looking to add more goals against Magdeburg in this match.
