Match preview: Nürnberg vs Darmstadt 98
Nürnberg and Darmstadt 98 face off at Max-Morlock-Stadion in a 2nd round of the 2. Liga duel. Historical encounters at this stadium reveal a balanced competition, with each team winning twice in their last four meetings. However, during the last match held here on 31 January 2025, Nürnberg emerged victorious with a score of 1-0. The home advantage might play a crucial role in this fixture, as Darmstadt 98 has demonstrated fluctuating performances when playing away compared to their home matches.
Team analysis: Nürnberg
The home side will enter this 2nd round after their opening League defeat against Elversberg, which ended 1-0. This team is not significantly impacted by home advantage—they have achieved similar results at home and away. Over their last 30 matches, they’ve recorded 5 wins, 3 draws, and 7 losses as visitors, scoring 26 goals and conceding 25, contrasted with 7 wins, 1 draw, and 7 losses at home, netting 22 goals and conceding 21. Nürnberg has triumphed in 3 and suffered 7 defeats in their last 10 home outings across all competitions. Defensively, they have struggled, conceding goals in every one of their last 10 matches, although their attack has been consistent, finding the net in 7 of the last 10 games. There is a noticeable tendency for goals in their matches, as 20 of their last 23 home games featured over 1.5 goals, and 17 of those saw more than 2.5 goals.
The expected prediction was for a smooth match, but Nürnberg’s debut in the 2. Bundesliga fell short of expectations. They failed to create effective plays on the pitch, and their transitions could not break through the Elversberg defense. Coming off a defeat without scoring, they must deliver a more cohesive performance to overcome Darmstadt 98 in the upcoming match.
Team analysis: Darmstadt 98
The visiting side approaches this 2nd round on the back of a strong opening day victory against VFL Bochum 1848, which finished 4-1. Darmstadt 98 has shown to be a robust team at home, as illustrated by their last 30 matches—2 wins, 5 draws, and 8 losses away compared to 10 wins, 2 draws, and 3 losses at home. In their last 10 away games, Darmstadt 98 drew 3 and lost 7. Their defence has struggled, allowing goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, which requires improvement, but their attack has been reliable, scoring in 9 of the last 10 encounters. Away from home, there is a clear trend for high-scoring games, with 15 out of 21 matches resulting in over 2.5 goals. They have conceded the first goal in 6 of those 15 games and have managed to turn the score around only once.
Darmstadt 98 showcased their abilities at home, thrashing Bochum to the tune of 4-1, and displayed the technical qualities across their squad, indicating they are keen to compete at the top of the league table. Now, with boosted confidence, this challenge offers them an opportunity to secure points from Nürnberg, who recently faced defeat.
