Prediction: 2-0
Ingolstadt
Nurnberg will look to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Fortuna Dusseldorf when they take on Ingolstadt on Matchday 21. The Bavarians quickly bounced back from a 2-1 loss to Paderborn, with the team keeping their promotion hopes alive. Nurnberg aim to keep on climbing the 2. Bundesliga standings, and they are surely capable of beating the rock-bottom side on home soil. All Kilian Fisher, Felix Lohkemper, and Florian Hubner should miss out with injuries.
Ingolstadt, on the other hand, have collected no more than ten points in the process. The relegation strugglers failed to impress in back-to-back losses to Heidenheim (1-2) and Darmstadt (0-2), and they are unlikely to spoil Nurnberg’s party at Max Morlock Stadion. As for the visiting side, all Fatih Kaya, Tobias Schrock, and Caniggia Ginola Elva are out of contention through injuries.
