Magdeburg welcome VfL Bochum at MDCC-Arena, Magdeburg on Sunday, May 16 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 0D 2L recently). VfL Bochum travel in mixed form (2W 1D 2L), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Magdeburg and VfL Bochum have split their 5 meetings almost evenly (1W–2D–2W). Their last encounter ended in Magdeburg won 4–1. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.0 per game in recent meetings.

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.
