Stuttgart vs Nurnberg Live Stats & Betting Odds
Stuttgart Prediction – Can Stuttgart use home comforts?
A third defeat on the trot away from home was handed to Stuttgart last time out in the German 2 Bundesliga when Monday night’s hosts suffered a 2-1 defeat at Sandhausen, but they return to their Mercedes-Benz-Arena for this upcoming clash against lowly Nurnberg, seeking to record a third home win on the trot.
Recent results have taken on a familiar pattern for Stuttgart as they’ve registered wins at home against Dynamo Dresden and Karlsruher, but have also incurred defeats on the road at Hamburg and Osnabruck as well as the aforementioned loss at Sandhausen.
4th placed Stuttgart therefore know that it’ll be their results at home that are more likely to get them across the line for possible automatic promotion from the second tier up to the Bundesliga this term, and a home record of 6-0-2 15/7 certainly indicates this.
All three points on Monday night would see Stuttgart move into 3rd place and level on points with 2nd placed Hamburg, and having won their last two home matches on the trot, Stuttgart will be confident that they can bag the points here.
Nurnberg Prediction – Can Nurnberg pull out of bottom three?
The visitors currently occupy third from bottom in the 2 Bundesliga and therefore also occupy the relegation play-off spot prior to their tough trip to Stuttgart on Monday night as they look to put an end to their miserable sequence of results in recent times.
It’s now 7 league matches without a win in the German second tier for Nurnberg and this poor stretch of results has pushed them deeper into the relegation mire following 4 defeats and 3 draws, with losses incurred against Ergebirge Aue, Bochum, Arminia Bielefeld and Wehen Wiesbaden – the latter being a 2-0 loss at home to the second from bottom outfit.
Nurnberg’s away record reads a fairly reasonable looking 2-2-3 14/13 but this includes just 1 win out of their last 6 matches on their travels, which was achieved in a surprising 4-0 win at Hannover, but there’s been little to cheer on the road for the majority of this campaign.
In addition, Nurnberg have been leaking goals on their travels too as they’ve conceded 3 goals or more in 4 of their 7 away matches to date in the 2 Bundesliga, and this could spell trouble at Stuttgart on Monday night.
Key-Facts – Stuttgart vs Nurnberg
- Stuttgart have won 6 of their 8 home matches to date in 2 Bundesliga
- Nurnberg have won just 1 of their last 6 away matches in 2 Bundesliga
- Stuttgart are unbeaten in their last 5 meetings at home v Nurnberg
Betting Tips Verdict
Stuttgart have been pretty consistent at home this term and should grab the points against Nurnberg here.
