Full-time: Magdeburg 3-4 Nuremberg

Nuremberg clinched a dramatic injury-time win in this seven-goal thriller in Magdeburg on Matchday 21. Ondřej Karafiát had given the visitors an early lead (5'), before a goal from Robin Knoche (30', penalty) and an own-goal by Jean Hugonet (33') quickly followed Marcus Mathisen's temporary equaliser from a brilliant free-kick (27'). Although Martijn Kaars (72') and Hugonet (79') managed to level it at 3-3, Julian Justvan emerged as the match-winner in stoppage time (90+4').

Half-time: Magdeburg 1-3 Nuremberg

Nuremberg are already 3-1 up in a generally balanced match against Magdeburg, with Karafiát providing an early lead, with a penalty from Knoche and an own-goal by Hugonet following on from Mathisen's superb free-kick, which levelled the score for just three minutes. Titz's side have had more of the ball, but Nuremberg's match plan is working.

Two new faces for Nuremberg

Miroslav Klose makes two changes for the visitors as Tim Drexler comes in for Finn Jeltsch, who has joined Stuttgart, and Jens Castrop returns after a bruise, replacing Mahir Emreli. Deadline day arrivals Janis Antiste and Fabio Gruber are in the squad for the first time.

One enforced change for Magdeburg

Christian Titz has to make one change, with Falko Michel replacing the ill Mo El Hankouri in central midfield. New signing Patric Pfeiffer is included in the squad for the first time.

Nuremberg starting XI

Reichert - Drexler, Knoche, Karafiát - Jander - Villadsen, Yilmaz - Lubach, Castrop - Justvan - Tzimas

Magdeburg starting XI

Reimann - Hugonet, Mathisen, Heber - Gnaka - Hercher, Nollenberger - Michel - Burcu, Atik - Kaars

Christian Titz on facing Nuremberg

"They have a very good squad with a lot of quality. This season, they are extremely strong in their transitional play and versatile when executing set pieces."

Miroslav Klose on facing Magdeburg

"Two teams are facing each other who are difficult to take the ball away from. We will have to defend a lot, and we'll need a bit of luck. But when we have the ball, we are also in a position to cause the opponent pain."

Over 40 years ago

Magdeburg's only home victory against Nürnberg came on the European stage, when they won 3-0 at home in the 1984 Intertoto Cup. The managers were Claus Kreul and Heinz Höher.

Magdeburg's home weakness

Magdeburg's two wins over Nuremberg in Bundesliga 2 have both come away from home. Their two home fixtures have produced just one point. Remember, Magdeburg haven't won a home game all season.

Revenge on the menu

Magdeburg's 4-0 win earlier this season is their biggest victory in Bundesliga 2 (together with a win at home to Bielefeld) and Nuremberg's heaviest defeat under Miroslav Klose. Three of the four goals were scored by substitutes, including former Nuremberg player Philipp Hercher, who played his first three second-tier matches for Nuremberg in 2016.

Great history

Magdeburg against Nuremberg is a clash between two great traditional clubs with trophy cabinets full to the brim. The Bavarians are nine-time champions and have won the DFB Cup four times, while Magdeburg claimed three league titles and seven cups in East Germany, as well as winning the European Cup Winners' Cup.
