Our prediction for this DFB Pokal match:
Wednesday’s football match at Osteestadion pits together Hansa Rostock and Nurnberg, who face each other in the DFB Pokal round 2. Hansa set up a meeting with Nurnberg by beating Stuttgart in front of home fans and it remains to be seen if they are capable of claiming yet another major scalp in the German Cup. Die Kogge are tough to beat at home and seeing that Nurnberg often struggle on the travels, we are tempted to put our money on the underdogs. Hansa Rostock head into the match following a 3-1 win over Fortuna Koln, which was fourth home win of the season. In their last meeting in a competitive match Nurnberg crushed Hansa 4-0, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge. You should know that it has been 15 years since Hansa last defeated Nurnberg in a competitive game.
