1. FC Magdeburg hosts 1. FC Kaiserslautern at Avnet Arena today. Petrik Sander and Torsten Lieberknecht will be on the sidelines for FCM and FCK respectively.

Historical Balance

History speaks in favor of the hosts: In seven second-league comparisons with the Palatines, Magdeburg lost only once and won all three home games.

Current Form

Despite the recent series of three home draws in a row, Magdeburg still has the lowest number of home points in the league with 17 points. The Palatines are not traveling in top form: Four of their last five away games were lost.

Personnel Problems

Torsten Lieberknecht has to do without his regular player Luca Sirch: The defender is suspended and will miss a league game for the first time this season.

Broadcast

The game will be broadcast on TV and livestream on Sky. You can follow the game in the live ticker on SPORT1.

Goal Threat

Magdeburg scored 19 percent of its 52 season goals from a distance – the highest value in the league. Baris Atik ranks second in the league with eleven assists.
