Prediction: 2-2
Nurnberg
Waldstadion Kaiserlinde will host Saturday’s 2. Bundesliga game between Elversberg and Nurnberg. The Black and Whites did well to make it to the Bundesliga promotion final last term, but Heidenheim eventually proved to be a big catch for them. Elversberg want to cross one hurdle more this term, but their poor displays in preseason are not fuelling fans with optimism ahead of Nurnberg’s visit. New recruit Amara Conde is widely expected to make his official Elversberg debut against Nurnberg.
The Bavarian outfit, on the other hand, have suffered a loss in each of their last three warm-up games. As both Nurnberg and Elversberg are desperate to put an end to their negative trends, there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. You should bear in mind that Nurnberg’s top scorer from last season, Stefanos Tzimas, has completed a move to Premier League outfit Brighton.
