Energie Cottbus desperately need points on Sunday, Apr 18 at 1:30 PM in the 2. Bundesliga. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Energie Cottbus come into this fixture out of form (0W 2L recently). Magdeburg, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 2D 1L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

History strongly favours Energie Cottbus here — they've won 3 of 4 previous meetings against Magdeburg, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Energie Cottbus won 2–0. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.8 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: Magdeburg's quality should tell even on the road. Energie Cottbus will push, but the visitors have too much class. Magdeburg to win.
