Magdeburg will try to put an end to their five-game losing run when they take on Elversberg on Matchday 8. Magdeburg do not seem to be at their sharpest and given their difficulties in front of goal, home win should not be considered. All Bockhorn, Chahed, and Zukowski continue to miss out with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team. Elversberg, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Braunschweig and Holstein Kiel. The Black and Whites have been showing signs of improvement of late and given Magdeburg’s dip in form, away win should definitely be considered. In their last meeting in the German second tier, Magdeburg outplayed Elversberg 5-2, meaning that the visitors are hungry for revenge. Talented forward Otto Stange is pushing for a recall to the Elversberg starting XI after scoring the winner as a substitute against Kiel.
