Team News

FC Koln
Nuernberg
  • Tim Lemperle came off just one minute after scoring against Jahn Regensburg and will miss the visit of Nürnberg this weekend.
  • Elsewhere, Luca Kilian is out for the remainder of the 2024/25 campaign after suffering an ACL injury.
  • Despite being winless in five league games, Miroslav Klose could name an unchanged starting XI on Sunday afternoon.
  • Tim Handwerker and Dustin Forkel remain Nürnberg's only confirmed absentees for the clash with FC Köln.

Prediction

  • Tim Lemperle scored the only goal of the game against 2. Bundesliga basement boys Jahn Regensburg last weekend, sending FC Köln home with all three points. Gerhard Struber's outfit are one of the form teams of the division, heading into gameweek 16 with four wins and a draw from their last five league outings.
  • Nürnberg face the unenviable task of travelling to the RheinEnergieSTADION while looking to rediscover their attacking form. An early Jens Castrop goal was cancelled out by Elversberg last time out as Miroslav Klose's side left the URSAPHARM-Arena empty-handed. Sunday's visitors are winless in five 2. Bundesliga matches ahead of this challenging fixture.
