This match features two teams living in the basement of the 2. Bundesliga, Sandhausen holding 17th place and Nürnberg lying 14th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
- Sandhausen has the fewest scored goals in the second half (6) in 2. Bundesliga
- Nürnberg has the most dropped points from leading position (19) in 2. Bundesliga
It's no vacation for neither Sandhausen nor Nürnberg as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Sandhausen form and stats
3 victories, 3 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Sandhausen have to build on here at BWT-Stadion am Hardtwald in the 2. Bundesliga.
In their previous game, the manager M. Schiele led his Sandhausen to a defeat in the 2. Bundesliga match away at Darmstadt 98. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at BWT-Stadion am Hardtwald. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Bochum.
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 Sandhausen have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 14 matches with the results: Won five, drawn seven and lost two.
Sandhausen are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 13 goals in 9 games. Sandhausen have conceded 15 from these games.
Nürnberg form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Nürnberg so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 2-2-4 (win-draw-lose). Three consecutive losses in away matches means Nürnberg are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road. Recent form does not give Nürnberg much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Sandhausen will be a tough nut to crack.
The manager R. Klauß was unhappy after their last game, a 2. Bundesliga match played at their home ground Max-Morlock-Stadion. Nürnberg suffered a 0-1 loss to Jahn Regensburg (placed 11th). A 2-5 loss hosting Hannover 96 before that.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Nürnberg playing away and similar expectations, we found nine relevant matches. Results were four Nürnberg wins, one draw and four defeats.
The travelling fans enjoy Nürnberg's attacking play in away games, having scored 12 goals in 8 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Nürnberg have conceded 13 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Nürnberg - Sandhausen 1-0. Last ten meetings between the teams: Sandhausen won two, Nürnberg won eight and zero draws. two games with over 2,5 goals, eight matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
