Nürnberg vs Stuttgart Prediction: Are the bookmakers overestimating the Swabians?

One of the German Cup quarter-finals will be between Nürnberg and Stuttgart, with the Second Division side facing an elite underdog. In this pairing, the bookmakers are on the side of the visitors.

Nürnberg

Nürnberg played four games in the 2.Bundesliga in March. In that period, the Bavarians lost 0-3 to Hamburg and 0-1 to Darmstadt, drew 2-2 with Arminia and won 2-0 against Eintracht Braunschweig. On Matchday 27, Nürnberg are only 13th in the German second division, with 29 points, three more than dangerously placed Regensburg. Nurnberg's home record is 11th in the division, with 19 points from 13 games played.

Stuttgart

The Swabians have a five-match winless streak in the Bundesliga, with Stuttgart losing to Schalke, Bayern, Wolfsburg, and Union and playing to a draw with Eintracht in that period. The results were awful, leading Stuttgart to fall to 18th place in the German league table, i.e., to the bottom of the table. They were five points behind 15th-placed Hoffenheim. A few days after the German Cup match, Stuttgart have to travel to Bochum, then take on Borussia Dortmund. Obviously, Stuttgart are not really interested in the German Cup at the moment. Stuttgart's away statistics are also poor, sitting 17th in the division, +0=5-8, 13:29 goal difference.

Line-ups for Nürnberg vs Stuttgart

Nürnberg: Vindahl Jensen - Gyamerah, Hubner, Schindler, Braun - Duman, Dæhli, Geis, Tempelmann, Nürnberger - Duah.

Stuttgart: Bredlow - Anton, Mavropanos, Zagadou, Ito - Vagnoman, Haraguchi, Endo, Millot, Tomás - Perea.

Expert Betting Tips

The statistics of head-to-head meetings on the side of Stuttgart everything is clear here. However, the current state of affairs is not on the side of the Swabians. They had already forgotten when they were winning, dropping into last place in the German league table, and Stuttgart have some tough opponents ahead. Nürnberg are also not doing well in their 2.Bundesliga campaign, but the Bavarians are more consistent in their results, and the home side's position in the division is much better than Stuttgart's in their league. We think that Stuttgart are overrated in the pair, and the Bavarians have a good chance of winning the final victory and clinching the German Cup semi-finals.
