Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
There will be fireworks when Nurnberg and Kaiserslautern square off against each other at Max-Morlock-Stadion in an eagerly-awaited 2. Bundesliga game. The Bavarians have been in a fine form of late, with the team rolling over Regensburg 8-3 in their last home fixture. As a result, the bookies see them as hot favourites to win Friday’s encounter. Dustin Forkel and Tim Handwerker should be the only absentees in the home team.
The Red Devils, on the other hand, have been involved in some high-scoring games of late as well. As Kaiserslautern are likely to adopt yet another attack-minded approach against Nurnberg, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. Nurnberg, though, are closer to pick up all three points from the match than Kaiserslautern due to their excellent home record. All Marlon Ritter, Jean Zimmer, Jannis Heuer, Philipp Klement, Almamy Toure, Julian Niehues, and Hendrick Zuck miss out with injuries for the away team.
