In a weekend match on Sunday Nov 13th, in week 17, Nürnberg will play host to Paderborn in a clash of the 2. Bundesliga. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 10 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. In their last match, 17th placed Nürnberg, recorded a 1-1 draw against Hansa Rostock. Fabian Nurnberger scored the first goal for Nürnberg in the 5th minute, but Nils Fröling got the equalizer for Hansa Rostock in the 1st minute of the second half’s stoppage time earning Hansa Rostock at least a draw. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 9 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, 5th placed Paderborn, recorded a 0-2 loss against Arminia Bielefeld. Janni Serra struck first for Arminia Bielefeld in the 40th minute on a feed from Masaya Okugawa, then Sebastian Vasiliadis added another in the 2nd minute of the first half’s stoppage time on a feed from Hack At the end of 90 a dissapointed Paderborn couldn’t manage to score, and Arminia Bielefeld took the shutout win. Paderborn is looking for direction having earned 13 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season. Last season Paderborn won the head to head battle with 1 win and 1 draw.
Robert Leipertz has been the most effective weapon for Paderborn lately. The German attacker has netted 2 goals in his last 5 matches. Gerrit Gohlke and Dominik Reimann are the top scorers for Nürnberg in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
