📰 Team News: Nuremberg

Stefanos Tzimas (muscular problems), Eryk Grzywacz (Knee injury) and Jens Castrop (Torn lateral knee ligament) are not available for Nuremberg boss Miroslav Klose.

It’s our opinion that Nürnberg will probably employ a 3-5-2 system, handing starts to Jan Reichert, Tim Drexler, Robin Knoche, Fabio Gruber, Tim Janisch, Julian Justvan, Caspar Jander, Rafael Lubach, Berkay Yilmaz, Mahir Emreli and Janis Antiste.

📰 Team News: Elversberg

Elversberg manager Horst Steffen has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Patryk Dragon (Knee injury) and Frederik Jäkel (Knee problems) can’t be considered.

We are inclined to think that Elversberg appear most likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 formation, starting the game with Nicolas Kristof, Elias Baum, Lukas Pinckert, Florian Le Joncour, Carlo Sickinger, Semih Sahin, Frederik Schmahl, Lukas Petkov, Muhammed Damar, Tom Zimmerschied and Fisnik Asllani.

⚡ Prediction

We’ve got the feeling that Nuremberg should be able to find the back of the net against this Elversberg team, but one goal might not be enough to avoid defeat.

We’ve gone for a narrow 1-2 win for Elversberg when the full-time whistle blows. Let’s see what happens here.
