Dusseldorf vs Nurnberg Match Preview

Dusseldorf is ranked at 14th place with 20 points and comes not in their best shape after a single win a draw and three losses over the last five matches. This caused them to drop in ranks and now they sit only three points above the relegation zone. If they do not change something soon, their situation could get even more complicated.

With 23 goals scored so far, they have one of the best offensive sides from the bottom half teams and in the last five games, they have scored a total of four goals averaging almost a goal per game. Also at home, they managed to score at least a goal in seven out of nine matches played this season.

Hennings with 8 goals and Narey with 5 goals - 6 assists are having a great season so far and I expect them to try and help their team get back on their feet here.

Nurnberg, on the other hand, is ranked at 9th place and comes after two wins and three losses over the last five matches. They sit in a more comfortable position when it comes to the relegation matter as they have a 13-point distance from the red zone, but also, despite being 9th, they are only 3 points behind the promotion zone.

With 28 goals scored they have shown a decent offensive side so far and in the last five matches, they have proved that scoring a total of nine goals averaging almost two goals per game, while managing to find the back of the net at least once in each duel. Even on the road, they did pretty good scoring in four of the last five matches.

For them, Shuranov 5 goals and Dovedan 5 goals - 2 assists have been leading the offense and I expect maybe one of them on the score sheet tonight.

In conclusion, I think both teams can score at least a goal here. Dusseldorf is in need of points and being at home I fancy a positive performance by them, so scoring a goal is more than possible. Nurnberg has got to try and get a win here which would catapult them higher in ranks hoping for their rivals to make a false step.
