The London club would have moved out of the bottom three in the Premier League had they not surrendered a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 with Hull City last weekend.
Fulham's failure to secure three precious points ensured they are second-bottom of the table with only two games remaining and in serious danger of dropping out of the top flight after a 12-year stay.
Fulham are just a point adrift of fourth-bottom Sunderland - who travel to Manchester United on Saturday - and third-bottom Norwich City, but Gus Poyet's in-form side have a game in hand.
He told the club's official website: "You have to take sit as it is, for me it's a good situation because we know we have to win.
"We are used to it, in my opinion we have nothing to lose. We only can win so we have to go and win that game. The players realise it and I'm confident they will make a good game.
"For me, it (keeping Fulham in the Premier League) would be my most successful achievement.
"I have never been relegated and I'm a bit afraid of the situation, I don't know how it feels to be relegated. I am afraid."
Magath is hoping key midfielder Steve Sidwell is passed fit after he suffered a kick on the knee against Steve Bruce's side.
It remains to be seen if striker Kostas Mitroglou (knee) is able to play any part in Saturday's crunch clash.
The Britannia Stadium has remained a fortress in Mark Hughes' first season in charge, with Stoke suffering only three home defeats.
