Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Buoyed by a thrilling 5-2 win over Schalke 04, Hertha Berlin will be aiming to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Nurnberg on Saturday evening. The capital club quickly bounced back from a 2-0 loss to St. Pauli, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence and they are seen as hot favourites to beat Nurnberg as well. Even though all Peter Pekarik, Tjark Ernst, and Agustin Rogel are sidelined with injuries, home win should be considered.
The Bavarians, meanwhile, are stuck in the middle of the table with little to play for in the season finale. In their last meeting at Olympiastadion Hertha Berlin defeated Nurnberg 1-0 thanks to Vedad Ibisevic’s goal and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. All Jannik Hofmann, Marcel Wenig, and James Lawrence are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team.
