FCM tests against ailing Braunschweig: Who will win?
In today's test match, the second division team 1. FC Magdeburg meets Eintracht Braunschweig. The game will take place on Thursday at Court 1 behind the Avnet Arena and cannot be watched live behind closed doors, although fans can find out more via a live stream in cooperation with media partner Volksstimme.

Eintracht Braunschweig, a club steeped in tradition, was founded in 1895 and was a founding member of the Bundesliga in 1963. In the 1966/67 season, the Braunschweig team won the German championship. In 2011, the club won the third division championship title and has caused less of a stir since being promoted back to the 2nd Bundesliga in the 2021/22 season. Currently under the leadership of coach Heiner Backhaus, who has been in office since the summer of 2022, the team is struggling with difficulties in the current season. After two wins, Eintracht had to wait for a point in the last six games, including four defeats in a row.
Review of the last duel
The last meeting between the two teams took place on the first matchday of this season, where 1. FC Magdeburg lost 0-1 to Braunschweig. Mehmet Can Aydin was the scorer for the visitors, scoring the decisive goal in the 82nd minute. Despite several great chances, including three shots at the post by Martijn Kaars, Magdeburg were unable to score a goal. The game was particularly striking in which Braunschweig had to play outnumbered from the 54th minute onwards because Kevin Ehlers was sent off with a red card. This match marked the first start to the season with a win for Braunschweig since 2019 - a remarkable return for the club, which last won its first game of the season against Magdeburg six years ago.
Both teams are looking forward to the upcoming test match. For 1. FC Magdeburg, who want to stabilize in the current league season, the test against Eintracht Braunschweig is an opportunity to prepare for upcoming challenges and improve their form. The course of this game could also shed light on whether Braunschweig can break its run or whether FCM can regain the momentum.
It remains to be seen how the teams will present themselves. Fans and players are excited to see whether Magdeburg can once again demonstrate their home strength or whether Eintracht can mark a turning point in their season. Whatever the outcome, there is a lot at stake for both clubs.
