The Nuremberg boss Miroslav Klose doesn’t have any fitness worries at all coming into this game with a completely healthy group ready to go.
We think that Nürnberg could opt for a 4-1-2-3 formation for this game with Jan Reichert, Tim Drexler, Fabio Gruber, Luka Lochoshvili, Berkay Yilmaz, Adam Markhiev, Finn Ole Becker, Pape Demba Diop, Julian Justvan, Rafael Lubach and Mohamed Alì Zoma.
ℹ️ Team News: Holstein Kiel
With a completely injury-free squad available for selection, the Holstein Kiel boss Marcel Rapp has no fitness worries whatsoever before this clash.
It’s our belief that Holstein Kiel seem likely to utilise a 3-4-2-1 formation, going with Jonas Krumrey, David Zec, Carl Johansson, Marco Komenda, A. Bernhardsson, Kasper Davidsen, Magnus Knudsen, John Tolkin, Adrian Kapralik, Steven Skrzybski and Phil Harres.
💭 Prediction
Our feeling is that Holstein Kiel and Nuremberg should both be able to score more than once here although it’s hard to pick a clear winner.
We’ll see, but this looks like it could end up all-square with both teams likely to score. That’s why our selection here is for a great battle with a draw when all is said and done.
