Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Nurnberg will look to make amends for a 3-1 loss to Kaiserslautern when they take on Greuther Furth in the 2. Bundesliga round 6. The Bavarians defeated Wehen 2-1 in their last home game, which is certainly giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of Friday’s encounter. Both Ahmet Gurleyen and Christian Mathenia are banned for the match, while the likes of Ali Loune, Can Uzun, and Christopher Schindler are out of contention with injuries.
The Cloverleaves, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in back-to-back defeats to Hertha Berlin (0-5) and Hannover (1-3), which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the home team. In their last encounter at Max-Morlock-Stadion Nurnberg defeated Greuther Furth 2-0. Both Gian-Luca Itter and Devin Angleberger are major doubts, while Oussama Haddadi misses out with injury for the visiting side.
