Battle of the cellar children: Bochum against Magdeburg – who stays on top?
An exciting duel in the 2nd league is on the agenda for today, November 2nd, 2025. VfL Bochum welcomes 1. FC Magdeburg, and the omens couldn't be more different. Wettbasis reports that Bochum goes into the game second to last in the table with just seven points from two wins and one point split. On the other side of the field is Magdeburg, which also only has seven points and is two points behind 15th place.
The betting odds for the game are also promising for the Bochum team, they are at 2.10. Coach Uwe Rösler was recently hired to turn things around at Bochum after Dieter Hecking was fired. Magdeburg, on the other hand, replaced Markus Fiedler with Petrik Sander to bring a breath of fresh air after the previous misery.
