Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Nurnberg play host to Preussen Munster at their Max-Morlock-Stadion in what is expected to be a close 2. Bundesliga encounter. The Bavarians suffered a dip in form, losing to both Hertha Berlin and Hannover in the last two games, but Saturday’s matinee could be the turning point for Miroslav Klose’s men. The German football legend can’t count on suspended midfielder Jens Castrop for the Munster game, while all Janisch, Jeltsch, Forkel, and Hanwerker are out of contention with injuries.
Die Adler, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-1 loss to Schalke 04 and given their difficulties at the back, we believe that the time has come for Nurnberg to return to winning ways in 2. Bundesliga. Munster’s injury list is pretty long, including the likes of Etienne Amenyido, Luca Bazzoli, Marian Kirsch, Morten Behrens, Malik Batmaz, and Sebastian Mrowca.
