Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Following a 2-2 draw with Karlsruher, Wehen will be aiming to return to winning ways when they face Nurnberg in the 2. Bundesliga round 21. Markus Kauczinski’s troops have been having their ups and downs of late, but they have improved offensively, which is giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of Friday’s clash. Defender Martin Angha and midfielder Keanan Bennetts should be the only absentees in the home team.
The Bavarians, on the other hand, head into the match following a 2-2 draw with Osnabruck. Nurnberg and Wehen seem to be evenly matched at the moment and, taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Ivan Marquez limped off with injury in the last league match, with Ahmet Gurleyen likely to replace him in the starting XI. A man to watch in the away team will be talented Turkey attacker Can Yilmaz Uzun, who scored a brace against Osnabruck.
