Cottbus vs Nurnberg Preview
FC Energie Cottbus will be eager to bounce back from their 3-1 defeat to Darmstadt as they target another victory in their return to the 2. Bundesliga. The newcomers have been involved in some entertaining encounters, with Over 2.5 goals landing in six of their first seven league matches this season. Both Guttau and Engelhardt are pushing for opportunities, while Cottbus will need to tighten up defensively after conceding regularly. Their home games have averaged 4.33 total goals, suggesting another lively contest could be on the cards.
Nürnberg, meanwhile, head into the match after an extraordinary 4-4 draw with Wolfsburg at the weekend. The Bavarians remain unbeaten in the new campaign and are firmly among the early promotion contenders. There are no fresh injury concerns, and Piet Scobel deserves particular attention after scoring twice in that high-scoring encounter. Nürnberg have looked dangerous going forward throughout the season, while their away performances suggest they have the quality to trouble Cottbus.
Nurnberg have averaged 2.33 goals per away game and have yet to fail to score this term. Given Cottbus' attacking potential, we believe that there is big value in betting on Over 2.5 goals, alongside Over 3.5 goals and Nurnberg or Draw.
This Bundesliga 2 match will be played on Friday, 16 October 2026 at 17:30.
