Magdeburg host Hertha Berlin at MDCC-Arena, Magdeburg on Sunday, Feb 14 at 1:30 PM in a top-four clash that could have significant title implications. Both sides are separated by just 6 points in the 2. Bundesliga, making this one of the more consequential fixtures of the season.

Magdeburg come into this fixture in good form (3W 0D 2L recently). Hertha Berlin, meanwhile, arrive in red-hot form (5W from last 5) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Magdeburg and Hertha Berlin have split their 8 meetings almost evenly (3W–1D–4W). Their last encounter ended in Magdeburg won 1–2.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Magdeburg a slight edge, but Hertha Berlin are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
