There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Nürnberg form and stats
Nürnberg have played 8 2. Bundesliga games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-3-2 (wins-draws-losses).
The fans are hoping that Nürnberg will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-3 away loss in the 2. Bundesliga game against Bochum (placed 1st). The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Hamburger SV.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Nürnberg as they have a new game in only three days, a 2. Bundesliga match thankfully also at home. Jahn Regensburg are visiting.
Nürnberg has scored 11 league goals at home this season, in 8 matches. 10 goals have been conceded.
Hannover 96 form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Hannover 96 so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 2-1-5 (win-draw-lose).
Home advantage was not enough for Hannover in their previous game, as they lost their 2. Bundesliga-match, hosting St. Pauli, 2-3. Preceding that game was the away victory against Darmstadt 98 with the score of 2-1.
Hannover 96 were so close to getting something from the game against St. Pauli, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal two minutes into overtime.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The 2. Bundesliga trip to Karlsruher SC.
The visitors have scored 6 goals from 8 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. As opposed to that, Hannover 96 have seen the ball go into their own net 11 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: three - two - five (Nürnberg wins - draws - Hannover 96 wins). As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five had two or less.Nürnberg missing players
