Match preview: Nürnberg vs Köln

Nürnberg and Köln will face off at Max Morlock Stadium, in a match of the 33rd round of Bundesliga 2. In their last encounter in this competition on 15 December 2024, FC Köln triumphed at home with a score of 3–1. The home and away form deserves special attention, as this match sees the 10th and 2nd placed teams respectively, but notably it involves the 7th best home team against the 4th best away team.

Team analysis: Nürnberg

Following 13 wins, 6 draws, and 13 losses, the home team finds itself in 10th place, having gathered 45 points. Recently, they suffered a 3–1 defeat at home to Elversberg, following a 3–3 draw away against Fortuna Düsseldorf. This team shows little fluctuation between home and away performances, with similar results across both settings. Over their last 10 home games in the league, Nürnberg secured 16 points from a possible 30, recording 5 wins, 1 draw, and 4 losses. Their defensive structure has been weak, conceding goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, although their attack has consistently found the net, scoring in 8 of the last 10 fixtures of this competition. In 32 matches, they conceded the first goal 11 times, managing to turn it around only twice. Notably, in their last 16 home games, 11 of their 29 goals were scored in the last quarter of the match (76’–90′).

Having faced Elversberg in a physically demanding encounter, Nürnberg may be showcasing signs of both physical and mental fatigue in this final stretch of Bundesliga 2. The team has struggled with consistency but is keen to distance itself from the relegation zone. A victory against Köln could serve as a catalyst to reignite their confidence.

Team analysis: Köln

The visiting team currently sits in 2nd place with 55 points, having achieved 16 wins, 7 draws, and 9 losses. In their penultimate match, they fell to Hannover 96 away from home, 1–0. Their last match resulted in a 1–1 draw at home against Jahn Regensburg. Köln has shown little variation in their home and away results, accumulating nearly identical points at both venues, with 29 goals scored and 18 conceded at home compared to 18 goals scored and 19 conceded as visitors. In the league, Köln has also gathered 16 points over their most recent 10 away games, accumulating 5 wins, 1 draw, and 4 defeats. Interestingly, the most common score at half-time in their away games has been 0–0 (occurring in 6 of 16 matches). Like Nürnberg, their defence has faltered recently, conceding goals in 9 of their last 10 games, while their attack has been consistent, scoring in 7 of their last 10 matches in this competition. Their away fixtures tend to be low-scoring, with 8 of their last 16 games concluding with fewer than 1.5 goals. In 32 matches, Köln conceded the first goal 11 times, managing to recover only 2 of those games. Among their last 16 away fixtures, they scored 7 of their 18 goals between the 31st and 45th minutes.

Nonetheless, Köln is unlikely to give up points easily, aware that they cannot afford any slip-ups in these closing stages of Bundesliga 2. Mathematically, even though the title remains within reach, avoiding mistakes is crucial. Maintaining a balanced performance across all departments will greatly enhance their prospects of emerging victorious against Nürnberg.
