Form guide
Bayern won 2-1 at Elversberg, beat Union Berlin 7-0, drew 2-2 at Augsburg, beat RB Leipzig 6-1 and won 3-1 at Freiburg on Sunday.
Magdeburg, in the 2. Bundesliga, beat Kaiserslautern 3-0, drew 1-1 at Greuther Fürth, beat Hannover 3-0, lost 2-0 at Dynamo Dresden and beat Karlsruhe 6-1 on Saturday. They scored three or more in three of those five.
Head-to-head
The clubs have not met in recent seasons. Their best-known meeting is Magdeburg's penalty shoot-out win over Bayern in the second round of the 2000-01 DFB-Pokal.
Our prediction and why
Our banker is Over 1.5 goals. Every one of both teams' last five games had two or more goals.
We also take Over 0.5 goals, because Bayern have scored two or more in each of their last five, and Over 2.5 goals, because Bayern scored three or more in three of their last five and Magdeburg scored in four of theirs.
We do not back a Bayern win, because the sides have no recent meetings in Munich for our venue rule to check.
