Unified FCM shares camaraderie with Schalke, preparing for a combined effort on the pitch.
In the upcoming 2nd Bundesliga fixture on September 18, 2025, 1. FC Magdeburg will host Schalke 04 at the MDCC Arena, with kick-off scheduled for 13:00. The Magdeburgers are in search of their first home points this season, having managed just one win and four losses so far.
Coach Markus Fiedler sees the clash against Schalke as the perfect test for his struggling team. 'Schalke is exactly the right opponent at the right time for us,' he stated. The Royal Blues arrive with nine points from their season start, offering a more mature football compared to their previous season.
Recurring injuries have made it difficult for Fiedler to find a stable team, with key player Martijn Kaars' departure requiring the team chemistry to be redeveloped. The Magdeburgers currently have the second-worst defensive record in the league, having conceded 12 goals after five games.
Individual mistakes, according to Fiedler, are the main reason for the team's defensive struggles. To address these issues, the team needs to improve their defensive process and perform at a higher individual level. The Magdeburgers have had five different starting lineups in five games, with Fiedler still searching for his first-choice team.
The injured players who will miss the match include Herbert Bockhorn, who has a muscle injury and will definitely be out, and Samuel Loric, who is still in rehabilitation and not an option yet. Additionally, Alexander Nollenberger is suspended for the away match.
Schalke's goals for the match include playing a better role in League Two and potentially getting involved in the promotion race. The Magdeburgers, on the other hand, are battling to avoid relegation, having not won since February 2023.
For fans unable to attend the match, a live ticker will be available. Match reports, videos, and news about 1. FC Magdeburg can be found on their website. Results and the table for the 2nd Bundesliga, Season 25/26, can be found online.
The team plays in the MDCC Arena for their home matches in the 2nd Bundesliga. In their previous four duels in the German second division, the Magdeburgers have a record of two wins, one defeat, and one draw.
As the Magdeburgers prepare to face Schalke, coach Fiedler believes that a stable team performance is key to earning points. The opposing team, Schalke 04, arrives with momentum, making it an exciting match-up for the football fans.
