Nurnberg take on the visitors Kaiserslautern in the round 31 match of German Bundesliga 2. The match will be played on Sunday, April 7th at Max-Morlock-Stadion (Nuremberg).
Nuremberg still can't feel safe as they are only four points ahead of the relegation zone. Nuremberg, in line with the tradition of this season, alternates between good home matches and disappointing away performances. The recent match against Hannover (3-0) was a complete failure. The team coached by Dieter Hecking showed a toothless attack and made numerous defensive mistakes. However, prior to that, Nuremberg played an excellent game against Fortuna Dusseldorf, securing a 2-0 victory. Unlike their away matches, Nuremberg performs much better at home. In fifteen matches at the Max-Morlock-Stadion, they have recorded seven wins, two draws, and suffered six defeats. On average, Nuremberg scores and concedes one goal per game at home (15-14).

Kaiserslautern, currently in seventh place with 44 points, have demonstrated their attitude towards the current championship affairs in the last two rounds. They first played a dull goalless draw against Regensburg away, followed by a lackluster home defeat to Hansa Rostock (0-1). While lack of motivation is undoubtedly a significant factor, losing at home to one of the underdogs is unacceptable in my opinion. Now Kaiserslautern risks continuing their negative streak, especially considering their recent poor performance in away matches. Not only have Dirk Schuster's team failed to win in their last six away games, but they have also failed to score during this period.
In this confrontation, we have two teams with diametrically opposite moods. One is highly motivated due to the threat of relegation to the third division, while the other is not particularly concerned as they have no end-of-season goals. In such a situation, I believe one of the teams will not be able to score. It's not just about motivation. Nuremberg, with limited attacking capabilities (26 goals), is forced to focus on defense, especially in home matches. They have managed to keep a clean sheet in seven matches and, in total, eleven games have ended with the result of "no goals scored." Kaiserslautern, as mentioned earlier, has failed to score in their last six away matches, totaling 540 minutes without finding the net. Furthermore, in the first half of the season, the two teams played a goalless draw against each other. My prediction: "Both teams will not score."
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes.
