Kick-off!

Castrop is fit to play again

Jens Castrop, who recently missed the match against Kaiserslautern due to illness, returns to Nuremberg's starting line-up in place of Rafael Lubach. It is the only change for FCN.

Michel back in the starting lineup

After two appearances as a substitute, Sven Michel is back in the starting eleven today. Koen Kostons drops to the bench as a result. Otherwise, Paderborn are as they were in the recent 1-1 draw in Düsseldorf.

Nuremberg starting XI

Reichert - Jeltsch, Knoche, Karafiát - Villadsen, Jander, Castrop, Soares - Justvan - Emreli, Tzimas

Paderborn's starting XI

Schubert - Scheller, Götze, Brackelmann - Obermair, Engelns, Castaneda, Zehnter - Michel, Bilbija - Grimaldi

Kwasniok's view on Nuremberg

"Nuremberg are currently the hottest team in the second division. Every player in their ranks can dribble well. This will make it difficult for us to press."

Klose's view on Paderborn

"Both teams are in good form and have a similar style of play, so it will come down to small details. I want to get the lads out of their comfort zone. Many of them are going through a positive development at the moment, which is also a nice feeling for me as a coach."

Nuremberg's predicted line-up

Reichert – Jeltsch, Knoche, Karafiat – Villadsen, Jander, Castrop, Soares – Justvan – Emreli, Tzimas

Paderborn's predicted line-up

Schubert – Brackelmann, Scheller, Götze – Obermair, Engelns, Castaneda, Zehnter – Kostons, Michel, Bilbija

The home side will be missing Mattes Hansen (ankle injury), Sebastian Klaas (pubic bone irritation) and Felix Platte (unknown injury).

All of the Nuremberg's goals so far this season

Nuremberg's unbeaten run

Nuremberg recently also drew twice in a row: most recently a goalless draw against Kaiserslautern and before that a 1-1 draw against HSV. Prior to that, however, Nuremberg had secured three consecutive victories.

Paderborn looking to go one further

On the last matchday, Paderborn had to settle for a 1-1 draw against Düsseldorf due to a very late equaliser, and before that, there was a goalless draw against Braunschweig.

New experience for Klose

As a manager, Miroslav Klose has never faced Paderborn before, and as a player, his last encounter was over 24 years ago: In May 2000, he won 3-2 with Kaiserslautern in the Regionalliga, with Klose scoring the equaliser to make it 1-1.

Still undefeated at SCP

Away at Paderborn, FCN has never lost: In the six competitive matches, the Franconians have won five times and drawn once. Only against Stuttgarter Kickers has Nürnberg played more often in the 2. Bundesliga (nine times) than in Paderborn (five times) without ever losing.

The Cup Duel

In addition to the ten encounters in the 2. Bundesliga, there was also a match in the DFB-Pokal in 2006/07: In the second round, the Bundesliga side from Nürnberg prevailed against the second-tier team Paderborn 2-1 after extra time - Robert Vittek scored the winning goal.
camera-photo

Tale of the tape

Nuremberg have won seven of ten matches in the Bundesliga 2 against Paderborn and lost only twice, both at home: 2-1 in January 2022 and 2-0 in April 2024 in their last encounter (goals: Adriano Grimaldi and Visar Musliu; Can Uzun missed a penalty).
