- Competition: 2. Bundesliga
- Date: Friday, 31st January 2025
- Kickoff: 17:30 UK / 18:30 CET
- Venue: Max-Morlock-Stadion (Nuremberg)
On Friday night evening at Max-Morlock-Stadion we will have an interesting tie between Nurnberg and Darmstadt. There was optimism around both sides that they could sneak into the promotion battle, but after 19 rounds, Nurnberg and Darmstadt have 25 points and will need almost perfect next 15 matches to catch up with the best in the division.
Nurnberg's first game and a win against Karlsruher after winter break gave Miroslav Klose's team a lot of optimism, but last weekend, the team from Max-Morlock-Stadion lost 3-1 on the road against Schalke. The guests had higher xG and number of shots than the home side, but they ended empty-handed.
Darmstadt have their own problems, too. They won only one of the last seven matches and possible promotion is with every week harder to achieve. Things didn't change after the winter break, either, as Darmstadt won only one point in those two games. In the previous match, they lost 1-0 at home against Paderborn. The home side probably deserved at least one point, but their inefficiency cost them points.
Nurnberg vs Darmstadt pick: Over 2.5 goals
Both these teams are high-scoring. There were three or more goals in six of the last seven Nurnberg games. On the other hand, four of the previous five Darmstadt matches went over 2.5 goals.

Nurnberg team news
Nurnberg Finn Jeltsch could move to West Ham in the coming days, so they loaned Tim Drexler to fill the gap in defense. Drexler debuted for Nurnberg but should get a more significant role if Jeltsch's transfer happens.
Michal Kukucka, Tim Janisch, and Dustin Forkel are injured and will not play on Friday evening. The good news for Nurnberg is that Mahir Emreli could return to the lineup after serving a suspension.
