Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
After suffering a heavy 5-0 loss to Heidenheim at the weekend, Nurnberg will look to give fans some cheer when they take on Sandhausen on Matchday 22. The Bavarians are desperate to escape the danger zone, and it seems as if they will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways in the German second tier. Enrico Valentini is banned for the match, while Nurnberg’s injury list includes the likes of Blum, Lohkemper, Horn, Lawrence, Wekesser, Mathenia, and Handwerker.
The Black and Whites, on the other hand, are on a three-game losing run in the 2. Bundesliga, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the hosts. Both Imanuel Hohn and Merveille Papela are out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the away team ahead of the trip to Bavaria.
