Nurnberg hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 19 points and a 17th position in the 2. Bundesliga table. Visiting Sandhausen holds 8th place with 27 pts.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
