Team News

Nurnberg
  • Hanno Balitsch could switch to the right-back position to replace the suspended Timothy Chandler.
  • On the wings, Mike Frantz, Robert Mak, Mu Kanazaki and Alexander Esswein compete for two spots in the starting eleven.
  • Tomas Pekhart and Sebastian Polter both have a chance of starting up front.
Freiburg
  • Fallou Diagne will possibly return to the starting line-up to replace Pavel Krmas.
  • Jonathan Schmid could start at right-back again, with Vegar Hedenstad dropping to the bench.
  • If Max Kruse stays on the wing, Johannes Flum should keep his spot up front.

Prediction

  • Nürnberg have drawn their last three games, but they are still in a comfortable position in the table, nine points above the relegation play-off spot. Manager Wiesinger has a lot of options in attacking midfield to make changes if he so wishes.
  • Freiburg are in splendid form. They have collected seven points from their last three games and are still in the top six, which is already a tremendous achievement for a club of their size and with such a small budget.
  • Expect this to be a competitive and hard-fought game from the outset.
