Magdeburg vs Hamburger SV Prediction 14.03.2025 | 2. Bundesliga

• Competition: Germany - 2. Bundesliga
• Date: Friday, 14th, March 2025
• Kickoff: 17:30 UK / 18.30 CET
• Venue: Avnet-Arena (Magdeburg)

A victory on Friday would allow Magdeburg to draw level on points with league leaders HSV Hamburg when the two promotion contenders face off at Avnet-Arena.

Heading into matchweek 24 with the knowledge that a win would push them into automatic promotion spots, Magdeburg fell short in their quest for a full set of points as they were forced to settle for a frustrating 1-1 draw at Greuther Furth, which saw them slip outside the top three.

In stark contrast, HSV remains at the top of the 2. Bundesliga table, having delivered a brilliant attacking display to cruise to a dominant 4-1 victory over mid-table Fortuna Dusseldorf at home, but with just a two-point cushion over third-placed Kaiserslautern, they can’t afford to relax.

Magdeburg vs Hamburger SV Betting Tips : BTTS

We’re confident sparks will fly when the two most prolific attacking forces in Germany’s second division clash, especially since both sides are vying for the priceless three points to boost their promotion bids, and as a result, we’re hoping the scoreboard will light up at both ends. With a potent attack and a somewhat fragile defense, Magdeburg’s fixtures have consistently delivered excitement in the Zweite Bundesliga, as evidenced by the stats showing 19 out of their 25 encounters this season finishing with a "BTTS" outcome. 

HSV are not far behind in that regard, as they have been scoring goals for fun and boast the league’s most prolific attack with 55 goals to their name, but their mere five clean sheets in 25 matches highlight the defensive frailties that have plagued them throughout the campaign. HSV have managed to keep just one home side off the scoresheet in their 12 away trips this season, which will give Magdeburg plenty of belief in their ability to trouble the current 2. Bundesliga leaders, especially given that they have netted 3+ goals in three home matches on the bounce. All signs point to an electrifying goal-fest with both nets set to bulge, mirroring the trend seen in four of the last five meetings between these sides, which makes it easy to understand why BTTS stands out as our top pick.
