Hansa Rostock form and stats

3 victories, 0 draws and 5 defeats. That’s what Hansa Rostock have to build on here at Ostseestadion in the 2. Bundesliga. Three consecutive losses here at Ostseestadion is hard to swallow for the home team. Both players, staff and the home crowd are desperate to get something from this match.

Nürnberg form and stats

There's been little loot from Nürnberg's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 8 away games in the 2. Bundesliga. Nürnberg only have 2 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 2 draws.

Nürnberg might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Magdeburg proved too strong as Nürnberg slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Max-Morlock-Stadion. That defeat was their first after three consecutive league fixtures winning points. Schindler, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.3. Schindler won 8 of 12 duels.

Preceding that game, the 0-0 draw paying a visit to Kaiserslautern.

A new game in only four days for Nürnberg, the 2. Bundesliga home match versus Paderborn. Busy days.

The attacking power of Nürnberg when travelling is not overwhelming with 7 goals scored from 8 league matches away. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Nürnberg have conceded 13 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
