Prediction: 3-1
Nurnberg
Buoyed by back-to-back wins over the likes of Stuttgart and Hoffenheim, Leipzig take on Nurnberg at their Red Bull Arena on day 7 of the new Bundesliga campaign. The two teams have entirely different ambitions for the 2018/2019 season as Leipzig are eyeing a place in the Champions League, while Nurnberg are eager to secure the top flight survival. The Red Bulls are a real force to be reckoned with at home and seeing that they have found their form of late, we predict that the hosts are going to emerge triumphant in Sunday’s football match. Nurnberg, on the other hand, did well to beat Fortuna Dusseldorf in their last home game in the German elite division, but considering that they were hammered by Borussia Dortmund (0-7) in their last away game in the national championship, home win should be considered.
