Team News

Nuernberg
Karlsruher SC
  • Jens Castrop crossed the yellow card suspension threshold during the game against Paderborn and will be replaced by Taylan Duman on Sunday.
  • Centre-back James Lawrence is back in training after spending most of the year injured, but the Welsh international is a long way from match fitness.
  • Christian Eichner could make one change to the side that beat Hertha Berlin with Fabian Schleusener starting in place of Dzenis Burnic.
  • Right-back Sebastian Jung is struggling with the flu and is a doubt for the trip to Max-Morlock-Stadion.

Prediction

  • Nürnberg's miserable end to the campaign has placed them at risk of being sucked into the relegation battle, and Cristian Fiel's side lost again last Friday in a 2-0 home defeat against Paderborn. The hosts have taken just one point from their last five 2.Bundesliga matches and sit just six points above the dotted line.
  • Karlsruher overcame a late Hertha Berlin fightback last weekend to secure a 3-2 win at BBBank Wildpark. KSC are now unbeaten in their last five league games ahead of their trip to Max-Morlock-Stadion, but with Fortuna Düsseldorf on a six-match winning streak, the visitors have actually been losing ground to their promotion rivals.
