Team News

Nuernberg
Holstein Kiel
  • Defensive midfielder Jens Castrop is a doubt for the home side, who have three confirmed absentees.
  • Should Castrop not pass his late fitness tests ahead of this game, expect Taylan Duman to replace him alongside Florian Flick.
  • Finn Porath is suspended for the trip to Max-Morlock-Stadion this weekend, so expect Marvin Schulz to return on the right.
  • Colin Kleine-Bekel is among three injured players in the Holstein Kiel camp.

Prediction

  • Nürnberg once again had teenage starlet Can Uzun to thank last weekend as his brace helped Cristian Fiel's side to a 3-3 away draw against fellow mid-table dwellers Hertha Berlin.
  • After failing to win back-to-back league games, the home side face an extremely tough test here against one of the promotion frontrunners.
  • Holstein Kiel encountered few problems during their gameweek 27 clash with relegation-threatened Hansa Rostock last time out with Steven Skrzybski and Lewis Holtby setting the promotion hopefuls on course for a 2-0 home win.
  • Marcel Rapp's side are now six points clear of third-placed Fortuna Düsseldorf following three straight league wins.
