Sandhausen form and stats

As mentioned below, Sandhausen are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 2 2. Bundesliga games.

Sandhausen lost their last game at Karlsruher SC (placed 13th) after a 2-3 scoreline. Kutucu, a striker, was the top performer for the side in that match, earning a rating of 7.4 (out of 10). Kutucu scored one goal and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Ahead of that match, Sandhausen won a home game hosting Fortuna Dusseldorf (1-0).

Nürnberg form and stats

Still no away game victory in the 2. Bundesliga for Nürnberg with 1 draw and 1 loss from their first 2 attempts.

Nürnberg have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 189 minutes ago. Wintzheimer was the goal scorer.

Nürnberg might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Heidenheim proved too strong as Nürnberg slumped to a 0-3 defeat in front of their own fans at Max-Morlock-Stadion. Midfield player Geis was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.13/10. Geis hit one key pass.

Before that, Nürnberg travelled to Jahn Regensburg and returned home with a draw after the game finished 0-0.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 12 similar matches played by Nürnberg in our archives, and the results are: 6 wins for Nürnberg, 1 draw and 5 defeats.

2 goals so far away for Nürnberg, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 3. All from 2 league matches away.

Head 2 Head
