Magdeburg vs. St. Pauli tip, prognosis & odds 08/07/2021 - DFB Pokal

Details:

For the coach of 1. FC Magdeburg, Christian Titz, the cup game on Saturday afternoon against FC St. Pauli is a journey into his own past, because, as is well known, the now 50-year-old was the coach of Hamburger SV from March to October 2018. Incidentally, his only derby against arch rivals from the neighborhood ended 0-0. The Mannheim native was fired two games later.

Titz has fond memories of the DFB Pokal insofar as he defeated TuS Erndtebrück 5-3 in the first main round in his first and so far only cup game with HSV. The task next weekend should be a lot more difficult. This is underscored by the bookmakers' betting odds between Magdeburg and St. Pauli.

Nevertheless, the third division team can count on justified hopes of making it into the second round, especially since the guests from the Hanseatic city have failed again and again in the opening hurdle in the DFB Cup in the recent past.

If you want to refrain from predicting the outcome of the match in the duel Magdeburg vs. St. Pauli and do not want to make a reliable statement about which of the two teams will advance to the next round, you may find what you are looking for with a bet on the number of goals. In view of the fact that the teams have not conceded a single goal in the course of the season so far, it is not necessarily to be believed in an offensive spectacle.

Magdeburg - statistics & current form

When Christian Titz took office as the new coach at 1. FC Magdeburg in mid-February, the completely unsettled team from the state capital of Saxony-Anhalt was on a direct relegation zone. At first it looked as if the ex-Hamburg could not do much in the short time, but after three defeats in the first three games, the blue-whites remained unbeaten in eleven consecutive matches (nine wins, two draws) and distanced themselves thus from the dangerous table region.

In the end, 1. FCM took an outstanding eleventh place, won the state cup final against league rivals from Halle and thus also bought the ticket for the first main round in the DFB Cup, where the Magdeburg team want to expand their outstanding record under Christian Titz over the weekend. In 19 encounters under the direction of the football teacher, the three-time GDR champion celebrated eleven wins, drew four times and conceded only four defeats, only one of them in retrospect on the past 16 competitive games.
