Nurnberg vs Heidenheim Prediction & Betting tips
Which coach will be fired in league 2 first? This question has already been answered. Hardly anyone would have expected the answer before the season. Daniel Meyer had to leave Erzgebirge Aue and was replaced by interim coach Marc Hensel. The tips would have been given much more to the Nuremberg coach Damir Canadi.
This has put down a complete false start with his team in the new season and stood with the great expectations of the relegated immediately under pressure. The 1-0 last against newly promoted Osnabrück could relax the situation in Franconia a little.
Another head coach, who just had to accept two defeats of his troop, is more firmly in the saddle than ever and is virtually irreducible. We are talking about Frank Schmidt, the veteran coach from Heidenheim, who has been in charge of the Ostalb for over a decade. Schmidt would have to dismiss himself if the FCH should get a new coach.
But even the 0-2 defeat against Sandhausen does not bring the experienced coach from the rest. Although he criticized his team harsh and yet he wants to compete with a positive feeling the short trip to Nuremberg. On Friday evening at 17:30, the kick-off takes place in the Max Morlock Stadium. If the odds are considered between Nuremberg and Heidenheim, then the bookmakers apparently go from a tight game.
Nuremberg:
Was that the turn of the positive for 1. FC Nürnberg? This question can probably only be answered in a few weeks. In any case fell to all responsible, especially coach Damir Canadi, after the 1-0 against VfL Osnabrück a stone or rather a whole boulder from the heart. After the two bankruptcies before the club was extremely under pressure and threatened to distance itself from the seasonal goal “Rise” significantly. Especially the style of play displeased the spectators.
Uncreative on offense, vulnerable on the defensive – this mix can not work in the second division. Remedy should create new signing Johannes Geis. The ex-Cologne and ex-Schalke could help with his Bundesliga experience immediately and just he scored the golden goal against Osnabrück ten minutes before the end of regular time.
Now all hope Nuremberg that the node has burst and start the Franks with their six counters in the account a catch-up in the direction of the table top. The gap to leaders Hamburg is “only” four points and holds itself within limits. But just in the midst of happiness, a bad news fluttered again in the catacombs of the Franks.
Iuri Medeiros, who was very convincing in the offensive midfield last year, pulled a torn muscle and falls out for the time being. This is probably synonymous with the fact that captain Hanno Behrens returns to the team. The captain has been criticized in recent weeks and put on the bench by coach Canadi against Osnabrück.
After his substitution Behrens then showed a good performance and was later celebrated by the annex. He has proven that he is fully committed to his role in each role, and has collected a few positives. Despite the injury of Medeiros the last weekend was a real Franconian mood brightener.
The good feeling should continue even after the home game on Friday. For Nuremberg would have against Heidenheim, this prognosis can be dared to retract the second home win in series.
Heidenheim:
Frank Schmidt is known as an open man, who is always fair in the evaluation of his players, but also does not mince words. So was his criticism after the 0: 2 home defeat against SV Sandhausen very relentless and direct. His players lack self-image, trust and conviction – especially in the game forward. Keeper Kevin Mueller even went a step further and warned that his teammates did not appear as a unit.
Why this is, is questionable. The core of the team has stayed together and with attacker Robert Glatzel, who was replaced by Stefan Schimmer, as well as Nikola Dovedan actually only two regulars left the northern Swabia in the summer. For Dovedan, who has moved to the club in Nuremberg, is due to meet again on Friday with his former teammates.
The bankruptcy in Dresden could be booked two weeks ago as an accident at work after a regular season start. But normally one knows the protégés of Frank Schmidt so that they show a reaction. Every player, including superstar and club idol Marc Schnatterer, could not show this desired reaction against Sandhausen.
Some people in charge are talking about a crisis early this season. The coach now demands points against the club, otherwise the international break in the otherwise quiet and contemplative Heidenheim could be very uncomfortable.
