Prediction: 2-1
Nurnberg
Holstein Kiel will look to build on a 3-1 win over Hansa Rostock when they take on Nurnberg in the 2. Bundesliga round 11. Kiel are eyeing their seventh win of the process and a triumph over Nurnberg could see them climb to automatic promotion berth. Defender Carl Johansson serves a one-game ban, while both Marvin Schulz and Lewis Holtby are rated doubtful for the match. Thomas Dahne and Patrick Erras are out of contention with injuries.
The Bavarians, on the other hand, proved their worth in a 3-1 win over Hertha Berlin, with the team quickly bouncing back from a heavy 5-1 loss to St. Pauli. Nurnberg, though, are not regarded as good travellers and that is the main reason why we are going to bet on the home team. Ivan Marquez misses out through suspension, while all Nathaniel Brown, Johannes Geis, James Lawrence, and Joseph Hungbo are out of contention through injuries.
