Nuremberg - Cologne: betting tip for the Second Bundesliga match

Current form

Nuremberg had no real opportunity to set too ambitious goals for itself, but surely the Bavarians, at least, planned to impose a struggle on competitors for the third place. In general, Miroslav Klose's team is spending the season quite well and spent some time near the leaders, but could not stand the competition. At the moment, Nuremberg is on the 10th line in the table with 45 points and is 13 points away from the transition zone, the third Elversberg is ahead by seven points and such a handicap cannot be won back.

Disqualifications and injuries

Castrop and Tsimas are injured. Soares is disqualified.

Interesting betting trends

• Nuremberg has not won in the last three matches – two defeats and a draw.

Approximate line–up: Reichert – Drexler, Knoche, Gruber - Janisch, Yander, Lubash, Yilmaz, Yustvan – Emreli, Antiste.

Current form

By the start of the season, Cologne was approaching the status of the main contender for a direct ticket to the Bundesliga and had a significant advantage over its opponents in terms of player selection. The goats made a number of mistakes in the first round, but on the whole they matched their status and held on to the lead, managing to maintain their form in the second round and avoid serious failures.

Cologne is second in the table with 55 points, but at the same time it is only three points ahead of fourth Paderborn, the whole fight is still ahead.

Gazibegovic and Kilian are injured.

Approximate line–up: Schwabe – Tiloeman, Hubers, Heinz, Finkgrafe - Lubicic, Martel, Kainz – Waldschmidt, Lemperle, Downs.
