This match features two teams living in the basement of the Bundesliga, Nürnberg holding 17th place and Schalke 04 lying 14th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Nürnberg form and stats

With 3 wins, 5 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Nürnberg, who have the fewest scored goals (23) in Bundesliga, are certainly not brimming with confidence.

Nürnberg drew their last game, 1-1 away at Stuttgart. Before that game, the 3-0 home victory against Augsburg.

The Nürnberg fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium, the tally being 14 in 14 matches. On the other hand, Nürnberg have conceded 16 goals.

Schalke 04 form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Schalke 04 so far with only 13 points returning home. The records show 3-4-7 (win-draw-lose).

The manager H. Stevens was unhappy after their last game, a Bundesliga match played at their home ground Max-Morlock-Stadion. Schalke 04 suffered a 1-2 loss to Eintracht Frankfurt. Preceding that, the 0-2 home loss versus Werder Bremen.

Schalke 04 find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 15 goals from 14 away fixtures. In the opposite end, Schalke 04 have conceded 23 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Schalke 04 - Nürnberg 5-2. Last ten meetings between the teams: Nürnberg won 2, Schalke 04 won 6 and 2 draws.
