1. FC Magdeburg vs Eintracht Braunschweig
📖 The Preview
Magdeburg look the most likely winners here and that recent run of four straight wins tells you they're hitting form at the right time. Braunschweig aren't pushover material though, their head-to-head record shows they've taken points off Magdeburg before, and both teams finding the net feels inevitable given how open these early-season games tend to be. Still, Magdeburg's stronger home record in this fixture and better recent momentum make them the team to back, edging it 2-1 in what should be a decent watch.
