Nuremberg against Braunschweig: Who will stop the series of defeats?
On November 1st, 2025 it's time for 1. FC Nürnberg: pure relegation battle! At 1:00 p.m. things get serious for coach Miroslav Klose's team. Nuremberg meets Eintracht Braunschweig in the Max Morlock Stadium. A real six-point game that is crucial for both teams - after all, it's about getting some breathing room in the bottom of the 2nd Bundesliga table. Nuremberg is in 15th place with 9 points, while Braunschweig is in 12th place with one point more. There's a little pressure on both teams' shoulders.
But the pressure is not the only reason for concern for Nuremberg. Miroslav Klose has to worry about the use of midfielder Pape Demba Diop, who suffered an ankle strain in the last game against Kaiserslautern. This could be a double setback because Diop's skills are crucial to the game.
The direct comparison
Both teams are not only fighting for points, but also against their own defense: Nuremberg have always conceded at least one goal in the last five games, and Braunschweig were not spared - they also had to hit the net in each of these games. Heiner Backhaus, Braunschweig's interim coach, also has to complain about the absence of Erencan Yardımcı. On the other hand, the people of Nuremberg are paying off a little more recently thanks to their upstanding performances. After a series of defeats, a 1-1 draw against Kaiserslautern stopped the negative run.
The outlook for the game
The betting providers assign Nuremberg a favorite position and set the odds for a home win at around 1.70. The statistical evaluations also show that in the last games of both teams there were often more than 2.5 goals. This could indicate playful fireworks.
For the expected formation, Nuremberg is talking about a 4-3-3 formation with Reichert in goal and a defensive line consisting of Drexler, Gruber, Lochoshvili and Yilmaz. At Braunschweig, a five-man defense is planned, while Polter and Conteh hunt for goals on offense.
It is a game that promises excitement both from a tactical point of view and for the nerves of the fans. It remains to be seen who will get the points, but one thing is certain: both teams urgently need a win to reduce their relegation worries.
