THE PREDICTION

Two struggling teams meet at the BWT-Stadion am Hartwald. Second-from-bottom Sandhausen have won just one of their last eight games, and have conceded a whopping 19 goals in that period. Only bottom side Wurzburger Kickers have a worse defensive record than the Baden-Wurttemberg club, although they have only failed to score in two of their nine home league matches this season. Nurnberg make the journey west with just one point from their last five outings, conceding 12 goals in total. Der Club have won eight of the 11 meetings between the sides in the second tier but with both in such poor form, it is hard to back either team with any confidence, so Over 2.5 Goals might be the way to go between two leaky defences.
