Match Preview
Arminia enters this contest without their key man Marvin Mehlem. His red card suspension is a huge blow, especially since he averages 0.77 cards per 90 minutes. Still, the squad remains optimistic. Joel Grodowski, their top scorer with 9 goals, will lead the attack at Schüco Arena.
The home side boasts an impressive 16.86 shots per match. They really like to pressure opponents early on. Thaddäus-Monju Momuluh and Grodowski will be vital in breaking down the visitors. With 1.86 goals scored at home, Arminia has enough firepower to challenge any 2. Bundesliga defense.
Defensively, they allow 1.29 goals per home match, which is a bit concerning. However, their corner stats are elite. They win 6.64 corners per game, placing them 3rd in the league. This suggests they spend a lot of time in the final third, forcing errors from defenders.
Nurnberg travels to Bielefeld with Mohamed Ali Zoma in excellent form. The forward has scored 10 goals this season, averaging 0.42 goals per 90. He is a constant threat in transition. Miroslav Klose will rely on Zoma and Julian Justvan to exploit Arminia’s defensive gaps on Saturday.
The visitors are missing several players like Danilo Soares and Goller. Even so, they are unbeaten in two away trips. They are also top of the league for preventing corners away, conceding only 4.0. This defensive solidity will be tested against Arminia's high shooting volume and pressure.
Scoring away has not been a problem lately. Nurnberg scored in 5 consecutive road games. However, their discipline is a worry, receiving 2.86 cards per game. This match promises excitement, and many expect a high scoring affair when considering the latest Bundesliga 2 Predictions from our experts.
