Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-2
Koln
Sparkles will be flying when Nurnberg and Koln, the two old rivals, take on each other at Max-Morlock-Stadion on Friday evening. Nurnberg failed to impress in a 3-1 loss to Elversberg at the weekend, but it is more than obvious that they head into the season finale with the lack of motivation. Danilo Soares is banned for the hosts, while both Joachims and Karafiat are pushing for recalls to the starting XI.
The Billy Goats, on the other hand, have a chance to clinch automatic Bundesliga promotion. Given Nurnberg’s poor form in 2. Bundesliga and shaky defence, we predict that the visitors are going to pick up all three points from Friday’s clash. Both Jusuf Gazibegovic and Luca Killian are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team. In the first half of the season, Koln recorded a routine 3-1 win over Nurnberg.
