Fortuna Düsseldorf have traveled here for an interesting fight against the hosts Nürnberg. Prepare for the match with this 2. Bundesliga preview!
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Nürnberg form and stats
Nürnberg have collected 4 points from their 2. Bundesliga home games so far after 1-1-1.
A strong away win for Nürnberg against Eintracht Braunschweig the last match, as Pascal Köpke (2) were on target. Before that, Nürnberg drew at home versus Karlsruher SC.
This is expected to be a close game, with Nürnberg perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Nürnberg as a small favourite), we find ten games. Nürnberg has won five of these, drawn three and lost two.
The Nürnberg fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 3 matches. Nürnberg's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 4 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Fortuna Düsseldorf form and stats
It's not happening yet for Fortuna Düsseldorf on their 2. Bundesliga travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different? It's all red in the travel logs of Düsseldorf, having lost four matches in a row as the visiting team.
The supporters enjoyed Fortuna Düsseldorf's previous game versus Heidenheim (placed 15th), a 2. Bundesliga 1-0 win played at home. A 0-3 defeat away at Hannover 96 before that.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Fortuna Düsseldorf playing away and similar expectations, we found three relevant matches. Results were one Düsseldorf win, zero draws and two defeats.
The visitors have scored 2 goals from 3 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. The Fortuna Düsseldorf manager U. Rösler has some worries about the defense as 7 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Nürnberg six wins, one draw and Fortuna Düsseldorf three victories. As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
