Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Following a 3-0 loss to Hannover, Nurnberg will be aiming to keep their promotion hopes alive when they take on Osnabruck in the 2. Bundesliga round 20. The Bavarians have been having their ups and downs of late, but their home record in the last two months (1-0-3) is anything but good. As all Anderson, Valentini, Lohkemper, Schindler, Wenig, Lawrence, and Hungbo are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Violets, on the other hand, are stuck at the bottom with only ten points on their account. The rock-bottom side have been showing signs of improvement of late, with the team drawing three of their last four league fixtures and, taking everything into account, the share of spoils is on the horizon. Both Lars Kehl and Emeka Oduah are out of contention with injuries for the away team.
