It's early days in the 2. Bundesliga and both Nürnberg and Karlsruher SC are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.

The hosts Nürnberg saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the 2. Bundesliga. That game was an away game at St. Pauli, so at least Nürnberg are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Nürnberg form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Nürnberg's two home games in the 2. Bundesliga so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Max-Morlock-Platz.

Nürnberg shared the glory with St. Pauli in their last match, an away game that ended all square 1-1. Ahead of that match, Nürnberg lost 2-3 at home to Darmstadt 98.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Nürnberg have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found nine games) they have won zero times, drawn six and lost three.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Nürnberg at home in the league. 3 on target and 3 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.

Karlsruher SC form and stats

No 2. Bundesliga points yet away for Karlsruher SC, from their first 2 matches. Karlsruher seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Karlsruher SC had fun at their own home (Max-Morlock-Platz) last time out, beating Sandhausen 3-0. Philipp Hofmann, Christoph Kobald and Dominik Kother scored. A 0-1 loss hosting Bochum before that.

A victory against Sandhausen as mentioned above, but the margin of victory could have been bigger as Karlsruher hit the posts three times.

Karlsruher SC are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, two draws and three defeats. From a total of six matches.

It's early days yet, but Karlsruher SC has scored 0 and conceded 3 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: three wins for Nürnberg, four draws and three wins for Karlsruher SC. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: six games.
