Magdeburg take on the visitors Dusseldorf in the round 1 match of German Bundesliga 2. The match will be played on Saturday, July 16th at MDCC-Arena (Magdeburg).
Magdeburg get a chance to make a name for themselves. The White-Blues actually have a European trophy in their assets, it was they who won the Cup Winners' Cup in 1974. In addition, the team became the champion three times and won the cup 7 times ... But all this was within the framework of the GDR. After the unification of the country, the team, which was one of the strongest in East Germany, had an unsuccessful play-off and went to the Oberliga. Not so long ago, Magdeburg played at a semi-amateur level, and moved to the 3rd division from the Regionalliga only in the middle of the last decade. Well, in the spring it turned out to take 1st place in the Bundesliga 3, and win a promotion. So far, the start will be virtually the same composition, under the guidance of the same coach, Titz.

Fortuna Dusseldorf in the last draw showed no desire to go "up" again. The "Red-white" in 2018, taking "small silver", climbed to the Bundesliga 1. Previously, such visits were short, for 1 season only. This time it was possible to stay for 2, but a year ago the team returned to the more familiar atmosphere of the 2nd German league. She was even considered almost as a favorite, but in the end it turned out only to close the list of the top 10 of the final table. But Daniel Thune, who came only in February, remained the head coach, and was finally able to conduct a full-fledged pre-season training with his wards. Yes, and the line-up has not really changed: they did not lose anyone, they signed only a promising defender Beckle from Liefering. But it is unlikely that the 20-year-old Swiss will immediately start playing decisive role.
The last time the clubs played each other in the Regionalliga was in the 2007/2008 season. By the way, then Magdeburg turned out to be stronger in both fights. Magdeburg will actually debut at this level. And Fortuna should take advantage of this - we bet on their away victory with a handicap of "0".
Prediction for the match: Fortuna Dusseldorf to win with 0.0 handicap.
