See live & upcoming matchesThree home games, three home wins, not a goal conceded in any of them. That is what Karlsruher SC walk into at 1. FC Magdeburg in the 2. Bundesliga on Saturday, 24 October 2026, kick-off 12:00 BST at the Avnet Arena in Magdeburg.
Magdeburg's home run reads 3-0 against Hannover 96, 3-0 against 1. FC Kaiserslautern and 2-0 against Holstein Kiel. Karlsruhe arrive off their own statement result, a 4-0 win over Darmstadt 98 six days before this match, which was one of only four points they have taken from their last six.
Kick-off is 12:00 BST on Saturday, 24 October 2026. The quick facts:
Mostly, because the rest of Magdeburg's form is an away problem rather than a home one. They have won 0 of 3 on the road, drawing 1-1 at SpVgg Greuther Fürth, losing 1-2 at Hertha BSC and going down 0-2 at SG Dynamo Dresden six days before this match. Over the six games they have 10 points, 10 scored and 5 conceded, with three clean sheets. Petrik Sander's side are a different proposition in Magdeburg, and the split is stark enough that the Dresden defeat tells you little about Saturday.
Karlsruhe's problem is harder to locate. Four points from six games, 8 scored and 13 conceded, one win and four defeats. They have failed to score in 3 of those 6 and shipped two or more in 4 of 6, including a 2-5 home loss to VfL Wolfsburg and a 0-3 home loss to Energie Cottbus. Away from home it is 0 wins from 2: a 2-2 draw at Hannover 96 and a 0-2 defeat at FC St. Pauli.
