Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Nurnberg will be aiming to make amends for a heavy 4-1 loss to Karlsruher when they face Dusseldorf on Matchday 15. The Bavarians aim to move closer to top three in the standings and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-oriented strategy against Dusseldorf. Ahmet Gurleyen is pushing for a recall to the starting XI, while midfielder Jens Castrop is banned for the match. All Julian Kania, James Lawrence, Joseph Hungbo, and Christian Schindler should miss out with injuries.
Die Fortunen, on the other hand, aim to climb to top three in the standings and given their fine offensive display in a 5-3 win over Schalke, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Daniel Bunk is banned for the match, while all Marcel Sobottka, Matthias Zimmermann, and Andre Hoffmann remain on the sidelines with injuries.
