Team News

Paderborn
Nuernberg
  • Sven Michel is pushing for a recall to what will likely be an elsewhere unchanged starting line-up.
  • Lukas Kwasniok will be without five first-team players when Nürnberg visit the Home-Deluxe-Arena on Friday.
  • Miroslav Klose could put his trust in the same starting XI that faced Kaiserslautern two weeks ago.
  • Illness could keep Jens Castrop out of this game, while Tim Handwerker and Dustin Forkel are both injured.

Prediction

  • Two own goals resulted in a stalemate at the Merkur Spielarena two weeks ago with Felix Götze turning the ball into his own net in stoppage time to deny Paderborn an impressive away win. Lukas Kwasniok's side have drawn back-to-back league matches, but with all four sides below them failing to win in gameweek 12, they remain in the top two.
  • Nürnberg's positive momentum stalled out somewhat prior to the international break, following up a stalemate against Hamburg with a goalless draw against Kaiserslautern. Nevertheless, the visitors are now unbeaten in five 2.Bundesliga outings as they travel to the Home-Deluxe-Arena.
