Magdeburg took a huge step towards safety with a narrow win over sixth-placed Hertha BSC. Laurin Ulrich scored the only goal of the game for the hosts in the hour mark. The midfielder suddenly found his scoring touch as it was his third goal in four games after none in the previous 28 rounds.
The capital city club have only picked up a single point from the last three matchdays, but they're guaranteed to finish in the top half. They will face Stefan Leitl's former club Greuther Fürth at the Olympiastadion before the iconic stadium host the DFB-Pokal final between FC Bayern and VfB Stuttgart.
Meanwhile, Pascal Ibold and Petrik Sander are edging closer to keep Magdeburg in the league as the joint-head coaches have now won three home games on the trot. They will try to finish the job against mid-table sides Holstein Kiel and Kaiserslautern.
