St. Pauli vs Nurnberg Prediction & Betting tips
The duel between two traditional clubs awaits the fans at the restart of the 2nd Bundesliga. The Kiez-Kicker from St. Pauli welcome the relegated relegated team from Nuremberg to the Millerntor. The hosts are just ahead of the Franks, who of course want to jump past the opponent this weekend.
Both teams lag behind their own expectations and are only in the lower half of the table. This will not satisfy the fans of the club in particular, since the goal was to get back into the top German league.
With only nine games remaining, it is not to be expected that the two teams will again slide up to the top clubs from Bielefeld, Stuttgart and Hamburg. The focus is on expanding the distance to the table cellar as quickly as possible. A false start in the last duels can quickly lead to great relegation difficulties.
Quoting the bookies sees Hamburg as having an advantage. The tested betting providers in the game St. Pauli against Nuremberg make a positive prognosis for an exit in favor of the home side. The kick-off at the Millerntor Stadium will take place on Sunday at 12:30 p.m.
St. Pauli:
The brown-whites from the north of Germany have been waiting eagerly for the league to restart. With the Bundesliga relegation team Nuremberg, the pirates are expecting a smash hit at the Millerntor at home. Can the team of head coach Jos Luhukay make the final leap out of the table cellar with a threesome?
Through a small series, FC St. Pauli cleared some air before the break. The Kiez kickers scored eight points from the last four games and remained undefeated. In addition to the two draws in Sandhausen (2; 2) and against Dresden (0: 0), victories against VfL Osnabrück (3: 1) and in the city derby at HSV (2: 0).
In their home stadium directly on the Reeperbahn, FC has been unbeaten for five games! In the table, the hosts improved, with a record of seven wins, nine draws and nine losses, to eleventh place in the second division. The head start on Wehen Wiesbaden, which currently occupies the relegation place, is five points.
The strength of the brown and white is on the defensive. The defense network in front of keeper Himmelmann has only allowed 32 goals to be conceded so far.
With only 33 goals scored, the Hamburgers lack the punch at the front. With Diamantakos and Veermann there are two players in their ranks, who have already bet eight times and scored half of the pirates’ goals.
If the brown-whites tie up to the performance before the break, it will be difficult for clubbers to take something countable to Franconia.
During the week, the two goalscorers Diamantakos and Veermann had to pause in training. There is a slight question mark behind their use. Otherwise, head coach Jos Luhukay can draw on the full.
Nuremberg:
After the bitter relegation from the soccer Bundesliga, the goal of the club at the beginning of the season was the return. But that is now a long way off. Instead, attention has to be turned backwards if you don’t want to end up with a bad awakening.
So far, the FCN have only won seven games and drawn eight times out of the 25 games they have played, a total of 29 points. This puts the red-whites in 14th place in the table in the 2nd league and the advantage of four points on the relegation place is truly no cushion. With a success in the neighborhood, the jump to the secured midfield should be achieved.
Especially in the Max-Morlock Stadium at home, the Franks have a hard time getting the countable. Since it runs much better on the opponent’s place. Nuremberg have been unbeaten here for three games and scored seven points. This series is of course to be continued at FCSP in Hamburg.
In the past games, the club particularly missed its comeback qualities. The Francs only managed to get two points after a deficit, but this was not even possible under head coach Jens Keller. There is plenty of room for improvement at the FCN.
Another big handicap has been the holed defensive. The red and whites already received 45 hits.
Only Karlsruhe SC accepted even more goals in the 25 games. Left-winger Robin Hack has the largest share of the 34 goals scored. He has overcome the opposing goalkeeper seven times.
For the cup winner of 2007 it is now a matter of getting as much air as possible between themselves and the relegation ranks. Ideally with a threesome in Hamburg. The betting providers see the guests in the outsider role and make a negative prognosis for an away win in the game St. Pauli against Nuremberg.
Coach Keller has to do without striker Paul-Philipp Besong, who suffered a cruciate ligament rupture last week.
