2.07Tip and bets
Nuremberg is in great form, having performed at a very high level in their last two home games, securing six points. It's clear that the hosts will be determined today to build on their success, with a chance to move closer to the third spot. Kaiserslautern hasn't won at Max Morlock in their last seven matches, and it's unlikely this streak will end today, as the Bavarians are objectively stronger.
We believe the visitors have no chance. Prediction – Nuremberg win. This bet is offered at odds of 2.27
Total Goals Bet
Nuremberg plays openly, takes risks, and scores a lot—netting 11 goals in their last two home matches. It's unlikely that Kaiserslautern can defend reliably against such an opponent, but the Red Devils also prefer a daring approach and can certainly respond with goals of their own.
Bet – over three goals total. This wager is offered at 1.95
Corners Bet
Nuremberg is the favorite and will likely spend most of the match attacking—expect the hosts to win comfortably on corners.
