Fight for survival: Magdeburg meets Bochum with a nostalgia factor!
Things will get exciting in the 2nd Bundesliga on Sunday, October 31, 2025, when 1. FC Magdeburg on the VfL Bochum hits. Kick-off is at 1:30 p.m. and it's not easy for the two teams - they are at the bottom of the table, with Magdeburg coming into the game second to last and Bochum last. A real relegation battle where every point counts!
What makes things even more exciting: This encounter involves a reunion with former stars. Former strikerUwe Rösler, who was once a crowd favorite at 1. FC Magdeburg and scored 20 goals in 53 games, now coaches Bochum. Rösler, who moved to Dynamo Dresden in 1990 for 1.25 million German marks, later became a Premier League star at Manchester City with 64 goals in 177 appearances. Also playsMoritz-Broni Kwarteng, who only moved from Magdeburg to Bochum in the summer of 2023 for 1.1 million euros.
News from the sidelines
VfL Bochum is there tooUwe Röslerpresented a new coach, while 1. FC Magdeburg is currently under interim coachesPetrik SanderandPascal Iboldis directed. Sander and Ibold seem to have found a good rapport with the team - they recently got four points from two games, including a 0-0 draw in Darmstadt and a 2-0 win against Preußen Münster. Sander has also expressed his wish to stay as coach for longer and can look back on a positive balance at Castroper Straße: several games without defeat.
Both teams got off to a rather bumpy start to the season. After initial defeats and a win on the second matchday, six bitter defeats followed, which made it difficult for both teams to gain a foothold. Now they hope to carry the momentum from the last few games to turn things around.
The meaning of the game
For both clubs, this clash means more than just points; It's about the feeling of regaining the trust of the fans and not losing connection to the saving bank. The meeting between Magdeburg and Bochum has not only sporting but also emotional value. It remains to be seen which of the two teams will keep their nerve and be able to get out of the crisis.
One thing is certain: Sunday will be a meeting of the past and present, a real test for both teams in the current season.
