Nurnberg take on the visitors Dusseldorf in the 1/8-finals of German DFB Pokal. The match will be played on Wednesday, February 8th at Max-Morlock-Stadion (Nuremberg).
Nuremberg are now not particularly notable power at the level of the 2nd division of Germany. The "Clubbers" repeatedly took both the league title and the national cup. But relatively recently, in 2020, it was possible to escape from relegation to the 3rd German league only in play-offs. So at this level, the 8th place in the last draw looked like a good result, which so far cannot be repeated. Now, under Weinzierl, a significant step back has been taken, to the bottom of the Bundesliga 2 table. After a long pause, they started with a home defeat to St. Pauli and then lost 0-1 and Greuther Furth. There will be no great prospects in the national cup, they need to think more about the championship. While the team is in 16th place, and this is the zone of transitional meetings, the two competitors going higher have the same number of points, but a better goal difference. The weak attacking game is striking, with only 16 goals in 19 meetings, this is the worst figure among all teams in the Second Bundesliga.

Fortuna Düsseldorf still can make their season outstanding. In 2018-2020, the Red-Whites were able to spend a couple of seasons in a row in Bundesliga 1. But, once again going down, the team only fell lower and lower. If at first it was 5th, then later, in the 2021/2022 draw, the ambitious team took only 44 points in 34 matches and closed the top 10 of the final division table. It is not surprising that, compared with such “successes”, now Daniel Tiune’s wards have added. This season, Fortuna certainly set the task of getting into the elite. The club is currently sixth in the Second Bundesliga, seven points behind the top three. They can still cling to the chances to compete for a promotion. After the break, Fortuna took a 3-2 victory over Magdeburg. True, then there were 1-4 on the Paderborn field.
All 3 recent head-to-head fights were won by Nuremberg, including the one in October they took 1-0 in Düsseldorf. Judging by the odd, the chances in this pair are equal. But Fortuna looks more convincing - we recommend betting on her victory with a handicap of "0".
Prediction for the match: Fortuna Dusseldorf to win with 0.0 handicap.
