Team News

Elversberg
Nuernberg
  • Horst Steffen will reintroduce centre-back Carlo Sickinger this weekend after he served a one-match suspension last time out.
  • Luca Schnellbacher missed the trip to the Olympiastadion last weekend but should return to the starting XI for the visit of Nürnberg.
  • Cristian Fiel is set to make a host of changes to the side that faced Fortuna Düsseldorf last weekend with Ahmet Gürleyen, Enrico Valentini and Ali Loune among those expected to start.
  • Sunday's visitors have four injuries to contend with here, while Jens Castrop remains suspended.

Prediction

  • Elversberg conceded three times in the space of ten second-half minutes last weekend as they were hammered 5-1 by an in-form Hertha Berlin side at the Olympiastadion.
  • Recent home form remains an asset for Horst Steffen's men, who have won three and drawn one of their last five league games at the URSAPHARM-Arena.
  • Nürnberg's fight has well and truly disappeared as the Hinrunde comes to an end.
  • Cristian Fiel's men were hammered 5-0 by Fortuna Düsseldorf on their own turf last weekend before losing 2-0 in the DFB-Pokal to a Kaiserslautern side that has lost five of their last six 2. Bundesliga matches.
