Nurnberg vs Holstein Kiel Prediction & Betting tips
Nuremberg – Kiel, A top game you could not expect before the season. Rising star Holstein Kiel is in second place with a whopping 29 points the big positive surprise, while the 1. FC Nuremberg is less fourth with seven points. Two defeats in a row have cost the club a lot of ground.
Only three times did both clubs meet each other, each time a long time ago. In the finals for the German Cup 1929 and 1932 there were equally clear victories for Nuremberg as in 1978/79 in the second round of the DFB Cup.
Nurnberg :
1. FC Nuremberg has won the first two league games against 1. FC Kaiserslautern (3-0) and SSV Jahn Regensburg (1-0) as well as the first round match in the DFB Cup at MSV Duisburg (2-1). But then led a 2: 2 against the 1st FC Union Berlin a minor period of weakness, in which lost at Erzgebirge Aue (1: 3) and against FC St. Pauli (0: 1). At MSV Duisburg (6: 1), against VfL Bochum (3: 1) and SpVgg Greuther Fürth (3: 1), the club gave with three wins at a time a strong answer, before an unexpected 1: 2 against Arminia Bielefeld let the series tear. In the SV Darmstadt 98 (4: 3) and against Dynamo Dresden (2: 1) and in the DFB Cup at VfL Osnabrück (3: 2) Nuremberg found again with three wins quickly back in the track before it with a 0: 1 at 1 FC Heidenheim and a 1: 2 against FC Ingolstadt went with two disappointments in the international break, in a test match was won at regional league team VfR Garching 2-0.
While the long-term injured Enis Alushi, Sebastian Kerk, Dennis Lippert and Adam Zrelak are still missing, it should be enough for the more or less battered Lukas Mühl, Patrick Kammerbauer and Enrico Valentini for a mission.
Probable lineup: Kirschbaum – Mühl, Ewerton, Löwen – Valentini, Behrens, Erras, Leibold – Möhwald – Teuchert, Ishak
Holstein Kiel :
Holstein Kiel has only needed a short start-up time after the ascent and has made a good start after scoring one point from the first two games. In a 2-1 victory in the DFB Cup against Eintracht Braunschweig was the prelude to a first winning streak with further successes against SpVgg Greuther Fürth (3: 1), the SSV Jahn Regensburg (2: 1), against the 1. FC Kaiserslautern (2: 1) and Erzgebirge Aue (3: 0). The storks then lost 1-0 to FC St. Pauli, but then lost to MSV Duisburg (3-1), VfL Bochum (3-0), 1. FC Heidenheim (5-3) and against Arminia Bielefeld (2: 1) the next series of four wins. This took place with a 2: 3 n.V. in the DFB Cup at 1. FSV Mainz 05, where Kiel was at least equal over long distances, an end. At Kiel SV Darmstadt 98 then took at least a 1-1 and then went with a clear 3-0 against Dynamo Dresden in the international break, in a test against the Dutch first division Heracles Almelo was lost 2: 3.
With Manuel Janzer and Christopher Lenz are missing only the two long-term injured. Otherwise, coach Markus Anfang has all the men on board and is unlikely to make any major changes.
Probable lineup: Kronholm – Herrmann, Schmidt, Czichos, van den Bergh – Kinsombi – Schindler, Mühling, Drexler, Lewerenz – Ducksch
