Fortuna Düsseldorf is struggling to reach the top spot and try to gain access, so much so that if you do not want to see opponents distance themselves, it’s important that you win. The team knows that Nuremberg is doing a weaker campaign, but that does not mean that the game is won, so it intends to play solid and consistent to try to come out with all three points. For this match coach Friedhelm Funkel will not be able to count on Tim Wiesner, Taylan Duman, Marcel Sobottka and Maecky Ngombo who are injured.
Nuremberg
The visiting team is currently in 11th place with 19 points earned after 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses. In the penultimate match, he lost out to Stuttgart by (3-1). In the last match, lost at home to Sandhausen by (1-3). Curiously, this is a team that has achieved better results outside of the home, having won 11 points as a visitor and only 8 in their stadium. In the last eight away games Nuremberg have won 3, 2 draws and 3 losses, having won 11 points out of 24. The team has conceded goals in 7 of their last 10 games, so they have not shown great defensive solidity, but their attack has been marked with great regularity, since they have always scored at least one goal in the last 10 matches in this competition. In his games as a visitor there is a tendency to score goals, since 6 of his last 8 games in the competition finished with more than 2.5 goals. In 15 games in this competition, he suffered the first goal 7 times and only got 1 turn on the scoreboard. In the last 7 away games for all competitions there are 2 periods that stand out: scored 6 of his 14 goals between the minutes (76’-90 ‘); Suffered 4 of his 11 goals in minutes (0’-15 ‘).
The moment lived by the Nuremberg in 2.Bundesliga is medium, after all it is far from the relegation and access zone, so much that if it is wanted to fight for some interest is time to score outside the house. Against Fortuna Düsseldorf knows that they will not find facilities, after all the opponent comes better in the competition and wants to fight for the access, so if winning a tie is something that can not be claimed. For this match coach Alois Schwartz will not be able to count on Patrick Erras and Shawn Parker who are injured.
Prediction: over 2.5 goals @ 1.69
