Prediction: 1-2
Nurnberg
Aue and Nurnberg go head to head at Sparkassen-Erzgebirgsstadion in the 2. Bundesliga round 18. Aue do not seem to be at their sharpest, with the team losing each of their last three league fixtures, and, no doubt, they are low on confidence ahead of the visit of Nurnberg. All Sijaric, Mance, and Gueye are pushing for a start, while the likes of Zolinski, Ferjani, Bussmann, Fandrich, Gnjatic, Ballas, and Cacutalua are out of contention with injuries.
The Bavarians, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a heavy 4-1 loss to Schalke 04. Nurnberg are two points behind the playoffs berth, and we predict that they are going to take advantage of Aue’s poor form. Both Felix Lohkemper and Florian Hubner miss out through injuries, but there are no suspended players in the away team ahead of the trip to Saxony.
