Magdeburg vs Fortuna Dusseldorf: Prediction and odds on the Match on 18 May 2025

Magdeburg and Fortuna Dusseldorf will lock horns at the Avnet Arena on Sunday, 18 May 2025. Dusseldorf have won five of their last six games against Magdeburg. Can they continue this dominance? Below, I have the team news, possible starting lineup, head-to-head stats, interesting facts, betting tips, and odds.

Magdeburg: form and statistics

Magdeburg suffered a 2-1 loss to Paderborn 07 in their last game to extend their winless run to four in their last five games. At home, they have won four of their last six games. The Club sit 7th on the table with 50 points in 33 games, scoring 60 goals and conceding 50. They have already lost their chances of promotion as they are currently five points below the top three with one game left in the season.

Magdeburg: Lineup

Magdeburg have already confirmed their stay in the league for next season but will do without Herbert Bockhorn, Livan Burcu, and Emir Kuhinja for their final game of the season. However, Christian Titz will continue with the defensive trio of Jean Hugonet, Marcus Mathisen, and Daniel Heber to provide cover for goalkeeper Dominik Reimann.

Fortuna Dusseldorf: form and statistics

Fortuna Dusseldorf returned to winning ways with a 2-0 win over Schalke 04 in their last game to end their three-game winless run. However, they remain unbeaten in their previous six games, where they won and drew three each. F95 have not been exceptional on the road, having secured just one win in their previous eight games. Fortunen sit 5th on the table with 53 points in 33 games, scoring 55 goals and conceding 48. As things stand, they can still have a chance for promotion, provided they win this match and Paderborn 07 and Elversberg drop points in their fixtures.

Daniel Thioune will have to do without the service of Vincent Vermeij, Tim Rossmann, Dzenan Pejcinovic, and Moritz-Broni Kwarteng in this match due to injuries. However, the coach will have Florian Kastenmeier between the goalposts, and Dawid Kownacki will lead the attack in a 4-2-3-1 formation.

All hope is not lost for Fortuna Düsseldorf in the race for promotion. All they have to do is at least win this game and hope other league results work in their favour, and I think they will secure this win. They know how to play their hosts, having won five times in their last six meetings. However, I expect both sides to score because it has become a head-to-head certainty between the two teams.
