The last game in 2.Bundesliga brings us a derby between Nürnberg and 1860. Both had not the best start into the season but aiming for the win today. The home team from Nürnberg got trashed 3-6 to Freiburg to begin and let them follow a 3-2 win to Heidenheim at home but could not convince much. Also in Cup it was an awful performance and they had a lot of luck to advance against low Division Team VfR Aalen. For 1860 it was also a very weak start, both league games were lost 0-1 but the trend is more positive above all after they Cup coup against 1899 Hoffenheim 2-0 because know one expected this. Therefore the self confidence should be very high now and they are coming to Nürnberg to collect the first Points this Season.
It is not an easy working in Nürnberg above all after such average performances. Coach Weiler has marked off the awful Cup match from his team and he wants to look forward despite some rumors about financial problems of the club. If this is true, it can be that the next Cup Round against Düsseldorf in October can be very important for additional money. Nevertheless this is far away and they have to focus them on the game against 1860 today. Coach Weiler does not want to take it easy as the Cup game has showed the class and individual strength of the players from 1860. Overall he expects a very tough match and also a very motivated opponent. Compared to the Cup game returning some players with Füllkrug and Blum is also ready 100% after his infection. Füllkrug and also Möhwald can be an alternative to Gislason who could not convince in all the matches so far. Quite sure is that Blum takes the place from Sylvestr in attack who had also not the best day in Cup. In defense Coach Weiler has also a lot of options despite the missing from Sepsi again. With Stark, Bulthuis and Leibold who is in squad the first time after his muscle injury can be alternatives for the back left wing. In central back is Hovland seeded to play while his partner is very open, it can be Bulthuis or Petrak. In defense Coach Weiler makes many changes and testing players but right now he has not found the right balance.
After losing both league matches 0-1 it was big pressure on the team from 1860 and their Coach Fröhling but they managed to overcome 1899 in Cup. This allows Coach Fröhling to work without any pressure this week but they have to confirm this performance today. Otherwise it would be hard to work without problems in Munich. Also with the next lose they remain on the bottom and it needs weeks to come out of this danger zone and also put them under huge pressure early in the Season already. 1860 Coach Fröhling said that he wants to forward the euphoria from Cup into this game and he hopes that they are able to bring the same good performance. He will not change much and allow almost all players to repeat their good performance. Only the keeper, Ortega got some match praxis in Cup while Eichner returns into goal today. The other positions remain unchanged. Under the week they signed Mugosa from Kaiserslautern and gave the offense more deepness. He is not in the squad for today but next week for sure. Some youngsters travelled with the team to Nürnberg because they had a very good performance after coming in against 1899. Both Mvibudula and Mulic made some noise and last one even scored the 2-0 and winning goal. For this Coach Fröhling reward them to take both in the squad again. It looks like the team is prepared for Nürnberg and for the first Points. The only important miss is MID Stahl.
