Our prediction for this DFB Pokal match:
Fritz Walter Stadion will host Tuesday’s DFB Pokal game between Kaiserslautern and Nurnberg, the two 2. Bundesliga sides. The Red Devils aim to put an end to their four-game losing run, but this match will be anything but a walk in the park for the home team. Both Aaron Opoku and Ragnar Ache remain in the treatment room, but there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Bavarians, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in back-to-back losses to Karlsruher (1-4) and Dusseldorf (0-5). Considering that the visitors are desperate to return to winning ways as well, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. You should bear in mind that ten goals in total have been netted in the previous two meetings between the two sides. The likes of Jens Castrop, James Lawrence, and Joseph Hungbo are injured for the away team.
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.
