Nurnberg
BBBank Wildpark will host Saturday’s 2. Bundesliga opener between Karlsruher and Nurnberg, the two old rivals. Karlsruher were producing excellent displays in preseason, with the team beating the likes of Rijeka, Munich1860, and Strasbourg in warm-up games. A man to watch in the home team will be experienced midfielder Marvin Wanitzek, who scored ten goals in the German second tier last term.
The Bavarians, on the other hand, are brimming with confidence following a thrilling 3-0 win over Italian powerhouse Juventus. As both Karlsruher and Nurnberg looked sharp in front of goal at the weekend, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. It has to be noted that Nurnberg chiefs have signed permanent deals with the likes of Ondrej Karafiat, Florian Pick, Danilo Soares, Caspar Jander, and Robin Knoche in the summer transfer window.
