Team News

Nuernberg
Fortuna Duesseldorf
  • Miroslav Klose could opt for an unchanged starting XI, despite watching his side lose 3-2 against Paderborn last time out.
  • Tim Handwerker and Dustin Forkel are both sidelined for the home side.
  • Left-back Nicolas Gavory is Daniel Thioune's only injury concern ahead of the trip to Max-Morlock-Stadion.
  • Expect a multitude of changes from Fortuna Düsseldorf following a 2-0 home defeat against Elversberg in gameweek 13.

Prediction

  • Nürnberg couldn't capitalise on a late Paderborn red card last weekend, instead conceding deep into stoppage time as they departed the Home Deluxe Arena empty-handed. Miroslav Klose's men have lost their way somewhat following a strong run and are now winless in three league games.
  • Fortuna Düsseldorf looked like the obvious title favourites early in the Hinrunde, but Daniel Thioune's men have collapsed over the past six games, picking up just four points from a possible 24. Such a dismal run has dropped them from top spot down to seventh in the standings.
