Another interesting game in the 2. Bundesliga. Nürnberg is in the 11th position after playing two matches. They welcome Fortuna Düsseldorf who are placed 8th after two games.
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
The first 2. Bundesliga game here at Max-Morlock-Platz resulted in a draw. Last season Nürnberg's home game statistics were 5 victories, 7 draws and 5 defeats from 17 games.
Happy days for Nürnberg in their previous game, a DFB Pokal match away at Ulm that ended with a 1-0 victory. Defender Enrico Valentini got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.43/10. Valentini hit two key passes and won 5 of 10 duels. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of R. Klauß when Taylan Duman scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 75th minute.
A 2-2 draw away in the 2. Bundesliga before that, with Paderborn the opponent.Early season league goal statistics from Nürnberg's 1 home game: 0 goals, 0 conceded.
Fortuna Düsseldorf form and stats
Only one away game in the 2. Bundesliga so far for Fortuna Düsseldorf and it resulted in three points. Last season the statistics for their away games were 5 victories, 4 draws and 8 losses from 17 travels.
It's the second away game in a row for Düsseldorf, but there's smiles all around after the 5-0 victory versus VfL Oldenburg in the DFB Pokal last time out. Attacker Rouwen Hennings got a player rating of 8.43 in the game. "Man of the match" Hennings scored two goals. As you can tell from the results above, Düsseldorf was very dominant against VfL Oldenburg, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 5-0 (!) with Dawid Kownacki, Nicklas Shipnoski and Rouwen Hennings (2) providing the goals.
Preceding that, the 2-3 home loss versus Werder Bremen.As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Fortuna Düsseldorf has managed 2 goals and let in 0 from 1 match.
