Nürnberg form and stats
3 victories, 2 draws and 0 defeats. That’s what Nürnberg, who have the fewest conceded goals (7) in 2. Bundesliga, have to build on here at Max-Morlock-Platz in the 2. Bundesliga. Nürnberg has a nice streak going on as they have played ten consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Erzgebirge Aue defeat 90 days ago.
Nürnberg are confident in defense, having played 190 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.
Nürnberg enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Dynamo Dresden's place. The match ended 1-0 with Tom Krauß scoring. Goalkeeper Christian Mathenia got the top rating on the team in that game; 8.0 out of ten. Mathenia stopped the opponent with five saves and topped it up with a clean sheet.
2-2 away at Hamburger SV before that.The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Nürnberg have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found twelve matches with the results: Won five, drawn four and lost three.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the DFB Pokal game versus Hamburger SV in only three days. This game is also played here at Max-Morlock-Platz.

The manager F. Schmidt was unhappy after their last game, a 2. Bundesliga match played at their home ground Voith-Arena. Heidenheim suffered a 2-4 loss to St. Pauli (placed 1st). As you can tell from the result, the match against St. Pauli was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today? Tobias Mohr got a match rating of 7.43 in that game, top player of the team. Mohr scored one goal, hit one key pass and had 41 successful passes (of 50 total).
Prior to that match, the Heidenheim manager F. Schmidt faced defeat when travelling to Werder Bremen and losing 0-3.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest.
