Magdeburg welcome Hertha Berlin at MDCC-Arena, Magdeburg on Sunday, May 3 at 1:30 PM in a 2. Bundesliga fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

Magdeburg come into this fixture in good form (3W 1D 1L recently). Hertha Berlin travel in mixed form (2W 2D 1L), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Verdict: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow Magdeburg win or a draw looks most likely.
