Team News

Nuernberg
Fortuna Duesseldorf
  • Expect at least two changes from Cristian Fiel on Saturday with Ahmet Gürleyen and Taylan Duman both pushing for starts.
  • Central midfielder Jens Castrop remains suspended for the visit of Fortuna Düsseldorf.
  • Central midfielder Marcel Sobottka could miss the rest of the Hinrunde with a hip injury that he suffered last Saturday.
  • Japanese international Ao Tanaka will replace him in what will be an elsewhere unchanged starting XI.

Prediction

  • Nürnberg were on course for a valuable point from their visit to BBBank Wildpark heading into the final 20 minutes last weekend, but Der Club conceded three times in the closing stages as they slumped to a 4-1 away defeat.
  • Saturday's hosts have lost just once at Max-Morlock-Stadion this season but face tougher opposition this time around.
  • Fortuna Düsseldorf found themselves leading by three goals after just 26 minutes last Saturday as they eventually closed out a 5-3 home win against relegation-threatened Schalke.
  • Victories for all of the top three mean that Daniel Thioune's side remain in fourth place ahead of their trip to Max-Morlock-Stadion.
