1.FC Nürnberg - Werder Bremen

Wow, Nürnberg played very good, they lost only to Dortmund in second half of the season and they were for long time unbeaten above all at home but after their disaster in Derby against Fürth 0-1 they were on a huge downtrend and they lost match after match. Never expected some from them after Fans dreaming of EuroLeague but woke up huge with this bad run. So it was more as wondering last weekend as they get back on track with this win against relegation candidate Düsseldorf. Maybe the self confidence and motivation is back for their last home match this season. All want a good and balanced season end, the whole team wants to celebrate with their fans a good last home match. They have to invest a lot if they want to bring their fans back on their side after a lot of bad results. Some of their players have some slight problems and maybe some doubts about their use but overall Esswein, Kiyotake and Balitsch maybe wants all to stand on the pitch. So no worries for Coach Wiesinger and he can field a very good and strong lineup then. He must only replace some injured players like Chandler, Ildiz and Gebhart. Also some others out but overall all long term already.

Many trouble in the past in Bremen, where they had a lot to do to avoid relegation or get not deeper involved. They managed it last weekend but they are on a winless run from 12 matches now. This is almost the same number as Düsseldorf has. Sure they started well in some matches and lead 1-0 or 2-0 but were never able to bring this advantage to the end. And so, it was a lot of trouble always after the matches and if Coach Schaaf has to go or should he continues with his work and so on. He was 14 years coach from Bremen now and he has only 87 days less as Bremen's Coaching Legend Rehagel. Because they sucked him this week. Sorry but this is not understandable because they should have played the last match in Nürnberg and then think about it or plan a new future with or without him. All in all this was not correct in many eyes what Manager Eichin did. They were saved last weekend, so no worries .... but he decided like this and they have to go on. With Rolff, Hönerbach and Kraft on the sideline in Nürnberg. This three should do the job for the last match this season. But they do not know with what players they should. With Arnautovic and Elia are two players suspended from the Club while Trybull, Füllkrug and Ekici are injured. Bargfrede is suspended for this match. But this was not enough for them, Sokratis got injured in last training and is not available here too. Also Yildirim and Hunt suffer injuries and are doubtful or out for this match. They bring some U23 to Nürnberg who are on the bench. With Wegner, Stevanovic and Wurtz are three youngsters in the squad. So not many options.

Of course, normally Bremen can be motivated here without Schaaf now but without 9 players which are almost all starters it can be very hard for them above all Nürnberg wants not to lose the last match at home and celebrate with their fans a good season end. Therefore I see Nürnberg in the much better situation and they can get the 3 points.
