Bavaria – Magdeburg Tip DFB Pokal, 2nd main round on Wednesday, 28.10.26 at 20:45 CET
The question of who will have the upper hand in the duel between FC Bayern and 1 FC Magdeburg in the 2nd round of the cup does not really arise. After all, the Magdeburgers will meet one of the world’s best teams on the road.
Accordingly, it can only be a matter of damage limitation for the second division club. But even this project is likely to be implemented with greater difficulty. With my bet “Win Bayern with handicap -3” at odds around 1.85 at NEO.bet, I am not expressing my confidence in the Magdeburgers.
To put it in perspective: Bayern have already scored 25 goals in the Bundesliga. And just recently, RB Leipzig, a top team, lost 6-1 in Munich. In short, anything other than a clear success for the record champions would be a tangible sensation.
Yes, Magdeburg has been playing a solid second division season up to this point. In fact, after nine completed matchdays, FCM is even among the promotion candidates.
Nevertheless, I don’t give the second division team a chance to take Bayern by surprise at the Allianz Arena of all places. I can only recommend everyone to keep their hands off bets that are based on Magdeburg’s progression.
Bayern vs. Magdeburg AI predictions:
When the big Bavarians meet an ambitious second division team, our AI model naturally takes a very close look. What does the digital brain in his Bayern Magdeburg AI prediction say about the chances of the underdog?
After all, the AI believes that FCM can at least score a goal. “Magdeburg over 0.5 goals” has a strong odds of about 2.25 at the online bookmakers. For the back of the mind: Bayern have not conceded a goal in the last five games.
Predicted chance of winning:
| Victory Bavaria |
Draw |
Victory Magdeburg |
| 89.9% |
7.2% |
2.9% |
The AI also assumes that the result will not get completely out of hand. With a clear lead behind them, will Bayern divide up their forces for the upcoming “classic” against BVB? “Bayer under 4.5 goals” at odds around 1.55 speaks for it.
Since a bet on a hit by Harry Kane offers practically no value (1.20), the AI takes aim at “Olise Scores”. For this, the odds climb to a justifiable value of about 1.60. And already in the first round of the cup, the Frenchman contributed a goal in the 4-1 win in Osnabrück.
What you need to consider when betting on Bayern vs. Magdeburg
