Matchweek 22 Highlights
Probably the most anticipated match will be 1. FC Magdeburg vs 1. FC Cologne on 02/14/2025 at 17:30. 1. FC Cologne has the upper hand in this match, since they are currently on the first place in the table. However, they still want to make sure to keep their rank. 1. FC Cologne won their last match against Schalke 04, while 1. FC Magdeburg didn't manage to score 3 points. So it will be exciting to see if they'll take this match as a chance to compensate for this. 1. FC Cologne also had a good run lately, winning 4 of their last 5 matches, but so had 1. FC Magdeburg. They won 3 of their last five matches.
Another match fans are looking forward to takes place on 02/15/2025 at 12:00. Here, 1 FC Kaiserslautern (currently in 3rd place) will face Hannover 96 (7th place). In their last match, 1 FC Kaiserslautern managed to beat their opponent Hertha BSC and scored 3 points. Hannover 96, however, wasn't as lucky and lost against Fortuna Dusseldorf. So, it will be interesting to see if they can step up their game and beat 1 FC Kaiserslautern in the upcoming match. Looking at the teams' performance in their last matches can also be an indicator about their current form: 1 FC Kaiserslautern played a great season lately, winning the majority of their games. Hannover 96wasn't that successful lately, however they managed to achieve a draw in most of their recent games.
People are also excited to see Fortuna Dusseldorf fight against Hertha BSC. They currently are in 5th place and 13th place, making their match interesting to watch. Both will have to step up their game and show their fans what they're made of, since none of them won their last match. You can also look at their recent performance to get an idea of their chances in the upcoming match: Hertha BSC wasn't so lucky lately, losing the majority of their games. Fortuna Dusseldorf performed alright in their recent matches. They achieved two victories and lost 1 out of five times.
