Nurnberg vs Fortuna Dusseldorf Predictions and Free Tips from our expert tipsters when the teams go head-to-head in German DFB Pokal on Wednesday, 8 February 2023.
Nurnberg are currently battling relegation in the German second division, and it goes without saying that they have been one of the worst teams in the competition for the whole season.
Meanwhile, Dusseldorf are going after the coveted third position in the same league, and most of all their form has only improved in the second half of the season.
Three of the last six h2h clashes have goals from both teams, while five of the previous ten have three or more goals.
It is also to be noted that the hosts managed to register just two wins at this ground in the past eight-year period.
Nurnberg are on a 100% losing streak after the World Cup, and even going back to October, they have a single win to their name. And at home, they have just two wins after July of 2022.
On the other hand, Dusseldorf have a 100% winning record in the last four months, barring just three fixtures. They are determined to take advantage of the struggling form of their counterparts, and they do have the momentum to make it happen.
Dusseldorf scored two or more goals in three of their past five road trips, whereas hosts Nurnberg have a single clean sheet at home since September.
Moreover, the last Nurnberg failed to score in an h2h clash was nine years back.
All of these suggest that we are about to witness goals coming in plenty this Wednesday.
Dusseldorf might be the favorites for the day. But consider the fact that Nurnberg found the back of the net in every single h2h clash going back to 2014. That is a run of 15 straight h2h meetings.
On top of that they are at home this game week. They might be expected to lose this fixture, but the chances are quite low for Fortuna to keep a clean sheet this Wednesday.
Nurnberg are placed 16th in a table of 18 in the 2.Bundesliga table, and are under threat of being relegated. They have a 100% losing record after the World Cup break, and at this venue they have a single win since September.
On the other hand, Dusseldorf have a 100% winning record in the past four months, barring just three losses. They are also placed much higher in the same league table, and are going after a playoff spot.
It appears that a win for Fortuna placed at an odd of 2.40 would be the best pick here.
However, they failed to keep a clean sheet for the past 15 straight h2h meetings in a row, and they let in six goals from their past two road trips. Moreover, they conceded two or more goals in five of the past six h2h encounters at this ground.
Likely, the Both Teams to Score wager at an odd of 1.70 would be a decent choice this Wednesday.
