Prediction: 1-1
Paderborn
Friday’s football game at Max-Morlock-Stadion pits together Nurnberg and Paderborn, the two mid-table sides. Nurnberg are eager to put an end to their four-game winless run, but given their shaky defence, home win should not be considered. Japan forward Kanji Okunuki is pushing for a recall to the starting XI, while both Marcel Wenig and James Lawrence are out of contention with injuries.
Paderborn, on the other hand, do not seem to be at their sharpest, with the team collecting only one point in total from the last four league matches. Lukas Kwasniok’s troops are stuck in the middle of the table, but given Nurnberg’s poor form in the German second tier, we predict that the visitors are going to grab something from the match. The likes of Mattes Hansen, Marco Schuster, Felix Platte, and Kimberly Ezekwem are sidelined with injuries for the visiting side.
