Prediction: 1-1
Dusseldorf
After making a slow start to 2023, Nurnberg will look to give fans some cheer when they take on Fortuna Dusseldorf in the DFB Pokal last 16. The Bavarians have yet to find the net this year, but they are surely capable of matching Dusseldorf in front of home fans. Both Geis and Valentini should be recalled to the starting XI, while all Jannes-Killian Horn, James Lawrence, Erik Wekesser, Christian Mathenia, and Tim Handwerker remain in the recovery room.
The visitors, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a heavy 4-1 loss to Paderborn, but beating Nurnberg at Max-Morlock-Stadion is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. As for the away team, Marcel Sobottka is a major doubt, while Matthias Zimmermann has joined the likes of Niko Vukancic, Kwadwo Baah, and Nicolas Gavory in the treatment room.
