Magdeburg vs BFC Dynamo tips and predictions

Magdeburg skinny price offers zero value

The hosts are expected to get through this due to their higher pedigree but it might not be as simple as that. The short Magdeburg price makes them a horrible bet. BFC Dynamo can upset the odds here but it's really not a confident prediction.

The hosts are widely expected to win but they are not invincible. Magdeburg's performances at home haven't always been vintage. They've been goalless in 3 of their last 5 game on their own soil which is fact that could resonate with supporters of any huge upset that could be on the cards. In defence Magdeburg's performances have shown some cause for concern. They conceded three or more goals in 4 of their last 9 matches. Maybe this lends some additional support for the upset.

BFC Dynamo have actually been victorious in 7 of their last 13 away matches. Notably they've scored at least once in 18 of their last 20 away fixtures and if they're to get anything from this game their goal scorers will need to find their best form. While it is seen as an appalling match-up for them, the visitors might just do the impossible here.

If Magdeburg are to justify their short price they may come out eager to maintain a clean sheet. It's not a particulary strong view but the No BTTS bet seems sensible. When there is evidently a gulf in class, football can take an unpredictable turn so all of this preview depends on how the visitors adapt to a higher level of the jogo bonito. And if you're interested in the goal line, it's no more than two goals in this game considering the prices available.

The visitors are coming off a 4-2 win in May against Monaco. Time will tell if this is significant or if Magdeburg's bigger match experience will prove decisive.
