Prediction: 3-2
Nurnberg
Following a goalless draw with Heidenheim, Hoffenheim will look to return to winning ways when they face Nurnberg in the German Cup last 32. Hoffenheim are a real force to be reckoned with at home, but Wednesday’s game will be anything but a walk in the park for the Bundesliga side. All Mergim Berisha, Pavel Kaderabek, and Umut Tohumcu are pushing for a start, while the likes of Christopher Lenz, Dennis Geiger, Grischa Promel, Ihlas Bebou, Finn Ole Becker, and Ozan Kabak remain in the recovery room.
The Bavarians, on the other hand, rolled over Regensburg 8-3 in their last 2. Bundesliga game. As Nurnberg are likely to stick to their attacking style of play, we are about to see goals galore at PreZero Arena. You should know that over 2.5 goals have been netted in each of their last seven meetings in all competitions. Forward Janni Serra remains in the recovery room, but he should be the only absentee in the away team.
Highlighted Player (Pavel Kaderabek):
Pavel Kaderabek is a Czech Republic defender born on 25 April 1992, who has enjoyed a bright start to his professional career. Coming through the youth ranks at Sparta Prague and gaining some first team experience during a loan spell with Viktoria Zizkov, the right-sided defender was finally able to show what he is capable of during the 2012/2013 season and he didn’t need a lot of time to make the next step in his career.
After scoring impressive 10 goals in 76 league appearances for Sparta Prague, Kaderabek joined Bundesliga side Hoffenheim in the summer of 2015, shortly after he had established himself as a starting right-back in the Czech Republic national team.
The talented footballer helped Repre make it to the Euro 2016 finals by starting 9 qualifying matches, once again proving his killer instinct by scoring two goals. Pavel Kaderabek looks set to become one of leading players of the new generation and a big club move may not be far away either.
