Goal probability

Goal probability

Goal probability determines the likelihood that the ball will land in the goal from every position on the pitch. The value is based on large amounts of data from previous years; factors such as shot angle, distance to goal and opponent pressure - as well as mathematical models.

61 %

Distance to Goal

Distance to Goal

The distance to goal is measured at the time of the shot - from the position of the ball to the center of the goal.

Petrik Sander on facing Hertha Berlin

"It is an extremely important match for the club. We cannot influence our opponents' matches and we are in a position to keep survival in our own hands. We need to be wary of Hertha's individual quality. It is important to find a good balance."

Stefan Leitl on facing Magdeburg

"Fundamentally, Magdeburg aren't going to adjust their style of play, but I think they might sit a bit deeper and play with a bit more caution than they have been of late. Either way, we're facing a highly motivated side."

Perfect record

Petrik Sander has faced Hertha four times as a coach, celebrating four wins.

Watch: Nuremberg 1-0 Magdeburg - last time out

With Mateusz Zukowski suspended, Magdeburg failed to carry a goal threat and fell to a second successive away defeat which places them in the relegation play-off spot, a point adrift of outright safety.

Watch: Hertha 0-1 Kiel - last time out

Despite registering a season-high 23 shots on goal, Hertha Berlin could not break down a resolute Holstein Kiel defence. Josip Brekalo’s opener was disallowed for offside inside the first minute before the awarding of a first-half stoppage-time penalty was rescinded by the VAR.
