2. Bundesliga Preview: SpVgg Greuther Fürth vs. 1. FC Magdeburg
Greuther Fürth and Magdeburg are set to face off again in an intense matchup ahead of the international break. Both teams are aiming to secure three points heading into the break. In previous encounters, Magdeburg has triumphed with scores of 5-4 in both matches.
Since the start of the new season, the teams have been locked in a tight battle with 18 goals shared between them in just two games. Notably, there have been 18 goals already in the first five rounds of the season for both sides. This fixture has become a highlight due to its dramatic nature.
Greuther Fürth secured their only win of the season away at newly-promoted Energie Cottbus. Meanwhile, Magdeburg bounced back from a 6-1 home defeat to Eintracht Braunschweig. Petrik Sander's side has only conceded points to league leaders Hertha BSC since their slow start.
The visitors might even climb into the top three before the game against Heidenheim on Sunday. However, Greuther Fürth remains the only team in the 2. Bundesliga to have not scored a home point this season.
Team news indicates that Shinta Appelkamp may return for the hosts after recovering from a muscle injury. Tobias Müller is expected to rejoin the lineup after serving his suspension from the 3-0 win over Kaiserslautern.
Predicted lineups reveal Fürth fielding players like Hellstern, Dehm, Heuer, Blank, Bansé, Will, Ademi, Pohlmann, Klaus, and Jordan. Magdeburg's lineup includes Reimann, Bockhorn, Müller, MacNulty, Nollenberger, Hyryläinen, Kwarteng, Michel, Iyoha, and Atik.
