Magdeburg's away form tells a different story. They've won at Osnabrück, Kiel and Kaiserslautern in recent weeks, plus a thumping 6-1 success at Braunschweig, with only a narrow loss at Hertha interrupting the run.

Magdeburg arrive with far more momentum than the hosts.

Comparative Team Statistics: Dynamo Dresden vs FC Magdeburg

The away side has won the last two meetings

The two most recent league meetings between these clubs both finished 2-1 to the visitors, Dresden winning away at Magdeburg back in January and Magdeburg returning the favour last August.

Go back further and it's a much more even picture, with draws and wins for both sides scattered across the years, so this recent pattern shouldn't be read as anything more than a small run of results.

A big gap in the table

Magdeburg sit sixth with 10 points from six games, having won three, drawn one and lost two, with a goal difference of plus two.

Dresden are down in 17th with just four points from the same number of matches, one win against four defeats, and a goal difference of minus six.

The table backs up what the recent form has been showing.

Where the goals are coming from

Magdeburg's threat looks fairly clear from the numbers on offer. Iyoha has four goals in six appearances and Nollenberger has three, with Atik supplying four assists in five games as the main creative outlet.

Dynamo Dresden:

Best assist providers:

V. Vermeij - 2

Penalty cards:

T. Keller x 1 x 3

FC Magdeburg:

Best scorers:

E. Iyoha - 4

A. Nollenberger - 3

Best assist providers:

B. Atik - 4

Penalty cards:

T. Müller x 1 x 2

H. Bockhorn x 1

A. MacNulty x 3

Dresden's data doesn't show an equivalent standout scorer, with only Vermeij registering among the assist charts, two in six games. On the discipline side, Dresden's Keller has picked up three yellow cards in four matches, while Magdeburg's Bockhorn has already seen red once this season.

How this one might play out

Magdeburg have scored in every one of their recent away league matches, and Dresden have shipped goals in several of their home games too, including defeats to Bochum and Hertha in front of their own crowd.

That combination points to goals being involved somewhere in this fixture, though how the game actually unfolds will depend on which version of Dresden turns up after a rough month.
