Match prediction for Nürnberg vs Elversberg

The teams Nürnberg and Elversberg face off at the Max-Morlock-Stadion in a match for the 18th round of the 2. Bundesliga. Elversberg previously won at home (1-0) the last time they met in this league edition on August 2, 2025. The recent head-to-head record favors the visiting team, which holds 3 wins and 2 losses in the last 5 matches. In this match, the home factor could play a crucial role, as Nürnberg has significant differences in their results at home versus away.

Nürnberg Analysis

After 6 wins, 4 draws, and 7 losses, the home team is in 8th position with 22 points. In their last match, they defeated Hannover 96 at home (2-1), following a loss away against Schalke 04 (1-0). Interestingly, this is a team that has shown better results away than at home, recording 5 wins, 4 draws, and 6 losses in their last 30 matches as visitors, scoring 22 goals and conceding 23, compared to 4 wins, 3 draws, and 8 losses at home with 16 goals scored and 25 conceded. In their last 9 home matches in the league, Nürnberg has 4 wins, 3 draws, and 2 losses, earning 15 points out of a possible 27.

In this competition, they have not lost any of their last 5 matches at home. The most common result at halftime in their home games in the league has been 0-0, occurring in 5 of their 9 matches. Defensive solidity has not been their strong point, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their attack has been consistent, scoring in 8 of the last 10 matches in this competition. In 17 matches in this competition, they have only managed 1 comeback in 9 matches where they conceded the first goal. There are 2 highlighted periods in the last 11 home matches across all competitions: they scored 5 of their 11 goals between the 46th and 60th minutes; and conceded 5 of their 12 goals between the 76th and 90th minutes.

The recent victory over Hannover provided a momentary relief amidst a season marked by ups and downs for Nürnberg. The result revitalized their spirits and confidence, but it does not erase the fluctuations that still restrict the team. With only 22 points, the top part of the 2. Bundesliga remains a distant goal. Every round now carries double the weight, requiring consistency and maturity. At home, the support from the stands gives additional motivation. Against Elversberg, the mission is clear: confirm their resurgence and start to narrow the gap with the leaders.

Elversberg Analysis

The visiting team is currently in 2nd place, with 34 points from 10 wins, 4 draws, and 3 losses. In the penultimate match, they won at home against Fortuna Düsseldorf (1-0). In the last match, they drew away against Preußen Münster (1-1). This team is less affected by home advantage, showing similar results both at home and away, having recorded 8 wins, 2 draws, and 5 losses as visitors in their last 30 games, scoring a total of 26 goals and conceding 22. At home, they have achieved 8 wins, 4 draws, and 3 losses, scoring 34 goals and conceding 17. In their last match, which was a club friendly, they won against Basel at home (6-5). In their last 9 away matches in the league, Elversberg has recorded 5 wins, 1 draw, and 3 losses, earning 16 points from 27 possible. The most common halftime score in their away league matches has been 0-1 (4 out of 9 matches). Their attack has been consistent, as they managed to score in 7 of the last 10 matches in this competition. There is a trend for goals to be scored in their away games, as 8 of the last 9 matches they played in this competition ended with more than 1.5 goals. In 17 matches in this competition, they have never managed to come back after conceding the first goal in the 4 matches.

Elversberg has turned good performances into attractive and competitive football in the 2. Bundesliga, drawing attention for their organization and courage on the field. The team flirts with prominence but keeps their feet on the ground when facing challenges in the league. With 34 points accumulated, the distance to the leader Schalke 04 is minimal, keeping their dreams alive. Every detail has become crucial in this tight race. Away from home, the level of demand naturally increases. Facing a Nürnberg side seeking revival, failing to perform is not an option for those who want to remain at the top of the competition.
