Schalke seems to show signs of improvement and has no loss in the last five rounds. They recorded a good victory with 3:1 at home against Nurnberg in the last round. They have moved a little further away from the relegation zone, but still remain in the second half of the table, occupying 13th place before this round. Schalke has only kept a clean sheet at home this season, and in 7 out of 9 home matches there were over 2.5 goals.
Magdeburg is doing much better, currently third and only two points off the top before this round. Their performance at home and away is extremely interesting. Magdeburg is the weakest home team and still without a home win this season, but at the same time, they are the strongest away team in the championship and have suffered only one loss away, winning their last two visits with 5:2 against Dusseldorf and Elversberg.
Prediction: X2 double chance, both teams to score: YESDespite the improvement at Schalke, Magdeburg is impressively performing, especially in their away matches. It is likely that they will continue with their good and result-oriented away performances here as well.
