Team News

Nuernberg
Karlsruher SC
  • Dustin Forkel is a confirmed absentee for Nürnberg, while right-back Oliver Villadsen is a doubt.
  • New signing Tim Drexler will feature in the matchday squad, but may have to wait for his first start.
  • Luca Pfeiffer could get his chance to lead the line after Budu Zivzivadze signed for Heidenheim at the start of the transfer window.
  • Karlsruher have three players doubtful for the first game of the Rückrunde on Sunday.

Prediction

  • Nürnberg boss Miroslav Klose will have breathed a huge sigh of relief when the full-time whistle blew against Eintracht Braunschweig in gameweek 17. Der Club were winless in six 2.Bundesliga matches heading into the final game of the Hinrunde but beat Daniel Scherning's men thanks to a Stefanos Tzimas strike.
  • First-half goals from Sebastian Jung and Budu Zidzivadze ensured that Karlsruher ended the Hinrunde with back-to-back victories. Christian Eichner's side sit second in the standings at the halfway point, but will have to see out the job without star forward Zivzivadze, who signed for Bundesliga club Heidenheim.
