"I'm convinced that we will avoid relegation because we've developed in the last 14 days", Magath was quoted as saying by ITV.
"The team is growing together and that is what makes me sure that we can avoid relegation.”

The Cottagers face 19th-placed Cardiff this weekend and three points there will be essential in the west London club’s quest to avoid relegation.
"We're fighting for every single one. I'm talking of course about the Premier League, I'm talking about the Champions League.
"These three points are very important for us, not only to step up from the last place, we need a win for ourselves, for our confidence”, the 60-year old said.
"We are in London, we are not in Cardiff or Sunderland where the whole city is interested in playing Premier League.
"The atmosphere here is really relaxed for the situation we are in; it's not typical for a team fighting against relegation.
"We have to be aware that we are not only dreaming, but everybody has to put in a shift and push the team and push the players to give their best", the German added.
Six out of Fulham’s 10 remaining games are against the sides in the bottom half of the English table, but the Whites also have a clash against Manchester City and Tottenham lined up.
