🗞️ Team News: Karlsruhe

It’s a low absenteeism rate, with just one fitness concern for the Karlsruhe boss Christian Eichner to contend with due to a largely intact group of players. Dirk Carlson (Fatigue fracture) is out of contention.

📰 Team News: Nuremberg

Nürnberg manager Robert Klauß has multiple availability issues to deal with. Asger Sörensen (Fractured Toe), Felix Lohkemper (Adductor problems), Robin Hack (Ankle problems), Pascal Köpke (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) and Noel Knothe (Ankle Injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.

✨ Prediction

Our feeling is that Nuremberg could well find it tough to break down this Karlsruhe outfit who will likely just have the edge.

We’re therefore seeing a very even contest with a 1-0 winning score for Karlsruhe after 90 minutes.
