Nurnberg take on the visitors Darmstadt in the round 26 match of German Bundesliga 2. The match will be played on Friday, March 31st at Max-Morlock-Stadion (Nuremberg).
Düsseldorf Fortuna and Hamburg will decide the issue of "minor bronze", the leader of the division, Darmstadt, will come to the popular, but going through hard times, Nuremberg. Nuremberg continues to hang at the bottom of the Bundesliga 2 table. The "Clubbers" are not in vain considered popular even by high German standards: 9 league titles, 4 cups. But the latest success dates back to the increasingly distant year 2007. Moreover, for a long time it was not possible to rise to the elite division of Germany. The last draw, for example, brought 8th place in the final standings. But now, most likely, it will not be possible to repeat it. At home, they manage to play well, here they passed Fortuna in the cup (on penalties), and in the championship there are already 3 “dry” wins, and at a party they finally caught on for points, playing 2-2 with Arminia. But still, so far there is only 12th place and, most importantly, a small gap from the danger zone.

Darmstadt must not lose focus just yet. The “Lilies” are changing divisions with might and main. Not so long ago they jumped into the “tower”, having risen there in 5 years from the 4th league, and even stayed there for a couple of years. But in 2017 there was a fall. At first it was in the middle of the Bundesliga 2, then a gradual rise began, and a year ago we already managed to finish 4th. This movement continued further, and by the end of March, Thorsten Lieberknecht's wards approached in the status of the flagship of the Bundesliga 2. But in March there were defeats to Heidenheim and Arminia, and only with Kaiserslautern they managed to win. Do those 2-0s mean the recession is over? The pursuers are already close, to Hamburg, which is 3rd, a distance of 1 victory.
In both previous seasons, the clubs exchanged victories. In September, already in the new cycle, the Lilies won at home. The visitors have something to fight for, but the hosts have no particular motivation. We'll risk assuming Darmstadt win away.
Prediction for the match: Darmstadt to win.
