After the end of the previous season, 1. FC Nürnberg had already played the relegation games for the promotion to the Bundesliga – and failed. On Friday, the duel against Eintracht Braunschweig is a direction-provoking duel, one could tackle with a full success the ascent ranks yet again. The kick-off of the meeting is on 10 February at 6:30 pm.
The season of the 1. FC Nuremberg had so far grown through. With the current ninth table row one should probably be at the “club” anything but satisfied. Seven-count is the backlog to the currently third-placed Friday’s opponent from Braunschweig. At least: Last one already defeated a better ranked team in the table, namely the 1. FC Heidenheim, with 3: 2. At the same time, Abdelhamid Sabiri, a self-grown plant, shone with a double pack. Before the success against Heidenheim, however, there was a 1: 2 defeat against Dynamo Dresden. All in all, the team from Alois Schwartz lacked the necessary constancy, in order to play further forward. After all, the current best away team of the league had three victories in the last four games, although it should be noted that some of these matches were already celebrated before the winter break and at a time when Guido Burgstaller was the leader of the scoring list in the 2nd. League. Even without the Austrian, however, Nuremberg has its strengths in the offensive. In the first season’s duel with the Eintracht should not the Schwarz-Schutzdorfer back too closely back, then it set the so far highest failure 2016/2017, came however Nuremberg with 1: 6 under the wheels. Also, the “club” could decide only one of his last four home games. In order to change this, above all defensively an increase must be made. Only three of 19 games left the Franks without a goal, have already suffered a total of 33 losses.
While Nuremberg could tackle the ascent places or the relegation place Braunschweig wants to defend ebendiesen. Starting as a leader in the spring season, the team from Thorsten Lieberknecht now has five points behind the current leader Stuttgart. Braunschweig is therefore in a weak phase, which among other things a 1: 2-offense against the final light St. Pauli pulled past last weekend. All in all, the Ascension Aspirant has not been a complete success for three games, but it was not enough to beat the Kickers from Würzburg (1: 1) and Karlsruher SC (0: 0). Like opponents Nuremberg, Braunschweig has its strengths especially in the game forward. 31 matches in 19 games are a top ranking in the 2. Bundesliga. Defensive, the Eintracht seems at first glance (21 Opposition) much more stable than Nuremberg, but only at first sight. While in the first ten seasons, five times played “too nil”, in the past nine matches only once. The direct duel in the recent past, however, speaks for the Lieberknecht elf. In addition to the 6: 1 Kantersieg in August, Braunschweig won two more of the last five matches. These three victories are two defeats. However: the last descent of the Brunswickers dated September 9th of the previous year. Also, captain Reichel, Omladic and Schönfeld are three important alternatives.
