Half-time: Paderborn 1-1 Nuremberg

30'
Easy pickings
Michel dummies it and lets the ball run through to Bilbija, who then drives towards the Nuremberg defence. He then has a go from about 20 metres out, but the shot is too central and so Reichert is able to save it.
27'
Turning the jets on
Centre-back Götze sees plenty of space in front of him and decides to drive the ball up towards the Nuremberg penalty area, before he is stopped by an opposing defender and loses possession.
25'
Header goes wide
Soares looks to pick out striker Tzimas with a free kick from the right-hand side. He gets his head on the ball at the far post, but the effort goes well wide of the goalframe.

Grimaldi close to a second!
It gets played into Paderborn's goalscorer by Zehnter, once again from the left flank, but Grimaldi doesn't get a good connection on the ball from six yards out. That was a real chance!

Posing a further threat

Tempo up
After a slow start, the pace of the game has considerably increased, so much so that we've already seen two goals. Despite the unpleasant weather, both teams are truly up for this game.

Swift reply!
After Paderborn's defence are pickpocketed in front of the penalty area, the ball comes to Soares on the left side of the box. He feints to work some space around his opposite man and then finds the bottom right corner with a well-placed shot! It's all square!
6'
Opening goal from first attack!
Paderborn take the lead with their first foray forward! Bulbija gets on the end of a long ball down the left wing, before getting his head up and picking out the unmarked Grimaldi. The Paderborn striker calmly swept the ball home from close range with a typical striker's finish.
3'
Moving it nicely
Nuremberg have seen a lot of the ball in these opening minutes and are passing it around well, with lots of their players getting early touches, which can only help them in these freezing temperatures.

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

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

New experience for Klose

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.
