The last game takes place in Nürnberg where two traditional teams meet each other which both aim is to return sooner or later into 1.Bundesliga. After some of the teams above failing the chance is there for both to close the gap to the top. Whatever only the Winner can hope for better times, the Loser has to take the focus down to the teams behind. Nevertheless both teams are in good shape and they had good results lately. The home team from Nürnberg is unbeaten since 3 games and hammered Düsseldorf 5-1 in Cup under the week while KSC had already 5 unbeaten matches.
It is clear for Nürnberg’s Coach Weiler that this match is a difficult one but he wants to win this anyway. Moreover they have to win it above all at home. He said that they have won not much but they were not beaten at home anyway. But only wins help them for a better time and atmosphere.
It is not far away that he counts on the same eleven who managed an excellent performance against Düsseldorf in Cup. He puts Füllkrug and Burgstaller up as attacker and both could convince while Danny Blum was successfully after he came in. Therefore Blum and also Möhwald face hard times with a place on bench. Although both are candidates for the starting lineup they are out at the moment. The standard specialist Möhwald can make the difference in some situations and of course. The defensive part is also changed compared to begin of the Season. At the moment Sepsi plays on the left wing while Leibold makes good games on the offensive wing. Central in midfield plays youngster Erras instead of veteran Polak beside Behrens. Above all the youngster is a very good partner to Behrens and both gave them more stability. In central back it has changed a lot there too. Former starter Hovland was injured some time now and with Bulthuis who is not very popular by Coach Weiler and should have sold to begin of the Season build up the central back with Margreitter now. Both harmonize very well and why should Weiler changes here anything. Maybe he has found the right mix and balance for the starting lineup now.
The team from Karlsruhe comes to Nürnberg with a lot of self confidence, although they know that this match is very difficult according to the home strength from Nürnberg. But Coach Kauczinski is very pleased with his team right now and he believes in them that they are able to get the win there. As always they want to be a hard opponent and fight really hard. They try to be as compact as they can and have some pressure on the opponent players. Most of the away games they defend but have real great weapons up front for counter attacks. Kauczinksi was talking a lot above all that their offensive play has improved recently and they want to walk on.
The 2-0 win to Kaiserslautern was a great step forward for them the team looked very good but this time important central midfield player Peitz is suspended. He can be replaced from Meffert or Krebs, it is not out yet who plays beside Prömel now. The other positions remain unchanged because it is not need to change there. The central back with Stoll and Mauersberger had found each other and played on a good level lately. Therefore the miss from both central defender Gordon and Gulde is not the problem right now. With Thoelke they have an alternative back on bench today.
