Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Expect an electrifying atmosphere at Max-Morlock-Stadion when Nurnberg and Schalke go head to head in an eagerly-awaited 2. Bundesliga game. The Bavarians aim to bounce back from a 3-2 loss to Karlsruher and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against die Knappen in their first home game of the process. Both Rafael Lubach and Benjamin Goller remain in the recovery room, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
Schalke 04, on the other hand, could not have wished for a better start to the season, with the team rolling over Eintracht Braunschweig 5-1 at their Veltins Arena. As Nurnberg experienced all sorts of problems at the back in the season opener, away win should be considered. All Aris Bayindir, Amin Younes, and Bryan Lasme are sidelined with injuries for the away side. Nurnberg defenders should have forward Kenan Karaman at bay as the Turkey international scored a brace against die Lowen.
