Nurnberg, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 2-0 away win over Holstein Kiel in their last league game, Nurnberg will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. They achieved 46% possession in that match and had 20 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Holstein Kiel's tally of 16 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 10 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 9, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games; however, overall they've scored in 10 of their 11 games this season.
They have been performing well at Max-Morlock-Stadion recently and are unbeaten in their last 9 home games.
Schalke 04, Recent FormWith a 3-2 home win last time out against Hannover 96, Schalke 04 will be looking forward to this one, and there will undoubtedly be a mood of confidence among their squad. They came away from that fixture with a 45% share of the possession and clocked up 12 attempts on goal with 6 on target, in comparison to Hannover 96, who managed 13 attempts on goal, 2 of which were on target.
Manager Karel Geraerts will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 16 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 10 goals they managed at the other end. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but so far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 10 of their 11 games.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 8 games.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Schalke 04, Sebastian Polter will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Nurnberg suffered the disappointment of a 1-2 defeat at the hands of Schalke 04 the last time they met in the league.
Nurnberg will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against Die Königsblauen, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 5 meetings between the two. In the previous 5 matches between these sides, Schalke have shown they know their way around the Der Club defence having scored 16 times against them in those 5 matches.
Nurnberg have lost the last 2 times they've faced Schalke in the league and have failed to win in their last 6 encounters.
With no real injury worries, Nurnberg manager Cristian Fiél will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Karel Geraerts has a number of injury concerns in his Schalke squad to contend with: Timo Baumgartl (COVID-19), Dominick Drexler (Illness) and Justin Heekeren (Cruciate ligament)
