Prediction: 2-2
Karlsruher
Buoyed by a hard-fought 1-0 win over Eintracht Braunschweig, Nurnberg will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they face Karlsruher on Matchday 18. The Bavarians have regained a much-needed confidence, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to revive their playoffs hopes. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of Sunday’s clash.
Christian Eichner’s troops, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Regensburg and Paderborn. Karlsruher have a chance to overtake FC Koln in top position in the standings, but with Nurnberg being tough to beat at home, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. The likes of Gunther, Hunziker, and Sihlaroglu are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team, while defender Sebastian Jung has overcome his minor problem.
