Match Time & Date:

20:30
Prediction: 3-1
Braunschweig
Nurnberg will be aiming to put an end to their six-game winless run when they take on Eintracht Braunschweig in the 2. Bundesliga round 17. The Bavarians do not seem to be at their sharpest, with the team obviously struggling at the back, but they will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways. Defender Florian Flick is pushing for a start following his fine performance in a 3-1 loss to Koln, while both Forkel and Handwerker are out of contention with injuries.
Die Lowen, on the other hand, are not enjoying a season to remember, with the team sitting in the relegation zone. Given their poor defensive performances in back-to-back losses to Dusseldorf (0-5) and Elversberg (0-3), we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from Saturday’s clash. The likes of Casali, Sane, Tauer, and Raebiger are injured for the visiting side, while both Szabo and Ritmuller are major doubts.
