Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-2
Nurnberg
Fritz-Walter-Stadion will host Wednesday’s football game between Kaiserslautern and Nurnberg, the two teams who are vying for a place in the German Cup last 16. Kaiserslautern are on a quest to bring glory days to Fritz-Walter-Stadion, but they made a slow start to the season. The Red Devils have been totally out of form of late, with the team sitting in the relegation zone in the 3. Liga standings ahead of the visit of Nurnberg.
The visitors are on a three-game winless run in the 2. Bundesliga, but they are surely capable of matching the out-of-form hosts in the DFB Pokal. A close encounter is on the cards in Kaiserslautern, and we predict that the winner will be decided in extra-time or after penalties. You should bear in mind that the two clubs played out a 1-1 draw in their last meeting in a competitive match.
