Energie Cottbus desperately need points on Sunday, Nov 29 at 1:30 PM in the 2. Bundesliga. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Magdeburg come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 2D 1L). Energie Cottbus travel out of form (0W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Despite playing at home, Magdeburg face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Energie Cottbus have won 3 of 4 encounters, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Magdeburg won 0–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.8 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: The gulf in league position makes Magdeburg clear favorites, but Energie Cottbus have shown they can grind out results. Expect Magdeburg to take the points, potentially without being at their best.
