Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Ulm will be looking to put an end to their five-game winless run in all competitions when they take on Nurnberg on Matchday 5. The newcomers do not seem to be competitive at this level, but they showed some positivities in a goalless draw with Paderborn before the international break. Both Aaron Keller and Tom Gaal continue to miss out with injuries, but they should be the only absentees in the home team.
The Bavarians, meanwhile, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-0 loss to Magdeburg. Nurnberg, though, are not regarded as good travellers and we do not believe that they are capable of grabbing more than one point from Saturday’s clash. Both Marcel Wenig and Tim Handwerker are out of contention with injuries for the visiting side, while talented forward Tim Janisch is pushing for a recall to the starting XI.
Highlighted Team (Nurnberg):
FC Nurnberg are a German club which was founded back in May, 1900. Der Ruhmreiche play their home games at Max-Morlock-Stadion, which was both built and opened in 1928. The stadium can hold up to 50,000 spectators, but it has to be noted that the capacity of the venue is 44,308 for international matches.
Nurnberg were the dominant force in German football in 1920s, with the team clinching five trophies during that period (1919/1920, 1920/1921, 1923/1924, 1924/1925, 1926/1927).
The Ruhmreiche won the national championships in 1936, 1948, 1960 and 1968 as well, with the team finishing the season as runners-up on three occasions (1934, 1937, 1962). Speaking of the club’s recent history, Nurnberg did well to win the German Cup in 2007, with the team beating Stuttgart in the title game. Speaking of the club’s European success, it has to be noted that the Bavarians played in the European Cup quarter-finals in 1962. Schalke are considered one of the club’s main rivals.
