Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Voith-Arena will host Sunday’s football game between Heidenheim and Nurnberg, the two sides who sit in the opposite halves of the table. Heidenheim aim to stay in top three, and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at Nurnberg on Matchday 21. Both Adrian Beck and Elidon Qenaj are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Bavarians, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Regensburg, but given their anything but good away record in the 2022/2023 season, we are tempted to put our money on the hosts this time out. Nurnberg’s injury list is pretty long, including the likes of Lohkemper, Blum, Horn, Lawrence, Wekesser, Mathenia, and Handwerker. In the first half of the season Heidenheim outclassed Nurnberg 3-0, which is yet another reason why home win should be considered.
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.
