Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Fortuna Dusseldorf will look to cement their spot in top three when they take on Nurnberg in the 2. Bundesliga round 32. Die Fortunen are eyeing their fifth consecutive win at home ground and they are seen as favourites to win Friday’s clash as well. Felix Klaus serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards, while fellow forward Marlon Mustapha remains on the sidelines with injury.
The Bavarians, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form in the German second tier. Given Nurnberg’s four-game losing run in the 2. Bundesliga, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. All Jannes Horn, Daichi Hayashi, Marcel Wenig, and James Lawrence are out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the visiting team. You should know that Nurnberg failed to find the net in the previous four league matches.
Highlighted Team (Nurnberg):
FC Nurnberg are a German club which was founded back in May, 1900. Der Ruhmreiche play their home games at Max-Morlock-Stadion, which was both built and opened in 1928. The stadium can hold up to 50,000 spectators, but it has to be noted that the capacity of the venue is 44,308 for international matches.
Nurnberg were the dominant force in German football in 1920s, with the team clinching five trophies during that period (1919/1920, 1920/1921, 1923/1924, 1924/1925, 1926/1927).
The Ruhmreiche won the national championships in 1936, 1948, 1960 and 1968 as well, with the team finishing the season as runners-up on three occasions (1934, 1937, 1962). Speaking of the club’s recent history, Nurnberg did well to win the German Cup in 2007, with the team beating Stuttgart in the title game. Speaking of the club’s European success, it has to be noted that the Bavarians played in the European Cup quarter-finals in 1962. Schalke are considered one of the club’s main rivals.
