Fortuna Düsseldorf - 1.FC Nürnberg

Both teams were named for promotion candidates from the experts before the season but both are a little bit behind this. Ok, Düsseldorf is a bit closer to the top three as Nürnberg who has a lot of problems recently. If they want to return to promotion race, none of these two can allow to drop more points. It is only up to win and win and win otherwise they are not able to let dreams come true.

The home record from Düsseldorf is not the best, they were not able to get more points as 13 from 10 home games where 30 were possible. They are under 50% in this and that says all at the moment. For this reason Coach Reck is trying to changes more and more for this important home match to get the fourth win in their Arena. Back in starting lineup is DEF Tah who was suspended for the last game and he should build up with DEF Soares and MID Bodzek the defensive line. It is more as possible that Reck counts again on the three in the back what he has trained with the team in winter break. In central midfield is da Silva Pinto expected who is one of the key player for Reck. He returned to training last friday but he said that he feels good and is ready for this match. If Reck plans with two central midfield players it is less work for Liendl and he can take the focus only on the offensive actions what let them more power for this. In this case Oliver Fink is an option beside Pinto here. With 3-5-2 they want to overcome the opponent today. In attack it is open who start today, because Pohjanpalo came hardly out of the winter break and has not the form from last November / December. It is possible that Hoffer gets a chance here and plays beside Benschop in attack while Pohjanpalo sit on bench.

After the bad performance to FSV Coach Weiler used the trainings week to work on a new, more offensive system and he was right and it worked well with the 3-1 home win against Union Berlin. The swiss man Weiler was very pleased with the practiced 4-1-3-2 and how his team was playing but for this away match it is open if he use this again or get back to a more defensive minded and controlled 4-2-3-1. The system is almost the same, only that he changes the number of attackers and give the central midfield more compactness with one man more. In this case youngster Stark can play beside Polak. In this case one offensive player must leave but it is more as open because all of the offensive players did a great job against Union. He depends more and more to Füllkrug because the others are to important and Mlapa made a good job on the wing also Burgstaller showed that he can strength the team well. In defensive back Mössmer is still out and must be replaced by Petrak, what was the case last weekend already. Also suspended Pinola returns today and replace Bulthuis who is not in the squad anyway for today.

Wow, this encounter take place 41 times where the first match was 1935/36. Overall Nürnberg has the better outcome with 20 wins, 9 draw and 12 defeats. But in Düsseldorf it was not all well and the record is average there with 4-7-9. The last meeting was in Season 2012/13 which was won from Nürnberg 2-1.

According to the position of both teams and because of both must go for the win I am expecting a very open game above all if one team take the lead. This encounter can be stretched and wide open and the potential from both offensive lines are there to produce goals. Therefore I am very keen on the Over here.

Recommend Bet: OVER 2,5 @ 2,12 (3 Units)
