Season ticket holders at Max-Morlock-Platz haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Nürnberg languishing in the 15th position so far. The guesting Greuther Fürth will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a 2. Bundesliga game only four days ago. That game was also an away game, at Dynamo Dresden. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Relegation threatens Nürnberg who should definitely be looking for some points here. Greuther are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.
