Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Hamburg will be aiming to recover from the DFB Pokal loss to Freiburg when they take on Nurnberg in the 2. Bundesliga round 11. HSV aim to climb to the automatic promotion berth and they are likely to adopt yet another attack-minded approach against Nurnberg. Midfielder Jonas Meffert is banned for the match as well as defender Sebastian Schonlau, while all Silvan Hefti, Dennis Hadzikadunic, and Robert Glatzel remain in the treatment room.
The Bavarians, on the other hand, rolled over Regensburg 8-3 at the weekend and given their attacking potential, we are about to see goals galore at Volksparkstadion. Both Dustin Forkel and Tim Handwerker are out of contention with injuries for the away team. You should bear in mind that in their last meeting at the venue Hamburger recorded a thrilling 4-1 win over Nurnberg, which goes in favour of our earlier prediction.
