Nuremberg – Hamburg

Two attacking teams will exchange goals in Nuremberg

Nuremberg this season is led by Miroslav Klose, the great striker of the German national team. This appointment at the club has led to a change in the style of play of the team. From one of the most defensive teams of the last campaign of the Second Bundesliga Nurnberg became one of the most productive. The only problem is that the team scores a lot and concedes a lot. And the stability is not particularly notable. Otherwise, you can not explain the results of the last rounds ... Now Nurnberg is in eighth place in the standings in a dense "second tier" with other clubs that are a little behind the main contenders for promotion. Hamburg is in the latter category. Only at the end of the last round Polzin's wards lost the first position, which is far from the first time in the current season climbed Cologne. The guests, of course, will come loaded for victory. Bookmakers have identified the guests as favourites for the upcoming meeting, offering odds of 2.09 on their victory. Nurnberg spent the last couple of months of last year at an extremely low level. Then in the last eight official duels there was one victory. 2025 Klose's wards started the year more qualitatively. Nuremberg won more often than lost points, which improved its tournament position. Another thing is that the class of this team is now quite clearly visible from the latest results. In mid-March, Nuremberg beat Proyssen Münster and Greuther Fürth with a total score of 4:0, and last round instead of developing success lost to the weakest representative of the Second Bundesliga - Regensburg. Such stability will not allow Klose's team to achieve anything above the middle of the standings. Hamburg, after the appointment of a local specialist as head coach, played without any serious misfires. Merlin Polzin lost the title of "acting coach" in the third decade of December last year, after which the team either won or drew. The Dinosaurs suffered their first defeat in a long period of time in the first match of March, when they unsuccessfully visited Paderborn. After that, Hamburg gained seven points in three rounds, losing two points in the last game against Elversberg. Because this misfire led Hamburg to lose the first place, the guests will play aggressively and in an attacking style, which will lead the rivals to exchange goals.
