On Oct 15th, Fortuna Düsseldorf plays host to Nürnberg in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched 2. Bundesliga teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 14 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. 5th placed Fortuna Düsseldorf is fresh off their 0-1 loss against Darmstadt 98. Patric Pfeiffer scored the first goal for Darmstadt 98 in the 73rd minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Fortuna Düsseldorf couldn’t muster any offence and Darmstadt 98 ran away with the shutout win. Fortuna Düsseldorf is looking for direction having earned 14 points in their last 10 matches, while nürnberg is fresh off their 2-3 loss against Holstein Kiel. Lino Tempelmann struck first for Nürnberg in the 39th minute, then in the 62nd minute, Fabian Reese sent in a beautiful pass which was converted by Steven Skrzybski But luckily in the 66th minute, they were able to complete the comback with a goal by Fabian Reese. Nürnberg looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 6 of their last 10.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season Nürnberg won the head to head battle with 2 wins.
Nürnberg’s most prolific scorer has been Lino Tempelmann. The German midfielder has netted two goals over the last 5 matches. Both Dawid Kownacki and Shinta Karl Appelkamp have been the hottest scorers for Fortuna Düsseldorf in the last 5 each having scored 2 goals.
