Nurnberg – Stuttgart: 29th April 2017

FC Nurnberg

Although not in the fight for a particular goal, the hosts did not extend any help to Wurzburger, who was in the fight to avoid relegation. Although they have been run since the 10th minute, they did not give up and returned to the table towards the end of the game, in the 80th minute, thanks to Teuchert’s success. At the age of 20, the young striker scored each time in the last two stages, although it only evolved 70 minutes per total. Although it is in the first half of the standings, Nurnberg is far from the previous season’s progress when it missed promotion after the Frankfurt dam.

In the last five home games he scored three victories and two defeats. Three of them scored no more than two goals.

VfB Stuttgart

The other side comes after a series of three consecutive wins with which they consolidated their first position. With Alexandru Maxim titular for 80 minutes, they were forced in the last round in confrontation with Union Berlin, score 3-1. The novel opened the score in the 29th minute, being the second consecutive game in which he managed to score. Having made four successes so far, Maxim has outperformed the last two seasons when he managed to score only 3 goals in 50 games. It was for the fourth time in the last five games when the offensive led by Terodde found the way to the goal at least twice.

With four rounds remaining until the end of the season, the “Swabians” have all the chances of returning to the Bundesliga, Especially, they are going to receive on their own land the Aue and Wurzburger, the team at the bottom of the standings.
