SpVgg Greuther Fürth 1-1 Nürnberg result, stats and report

DSC Arminia Bielefeld put four past Nürnberg at the Max-Morlock-Stadion, with Adam Markhiev scoring twice in a dominant away performance that exposed every weakness in the home side's defensive basics.

Holstein Kiel twice led and twice failed to hold it, ending 2-2 against a Nürnberg side who were the better team for long stretches and left Kiel with serious defensive questions to answer.

Karlsruher SC host an in-form Nürnberg side on Saturday having conceded ten goals in their last five 2. Bundesliga matches. This looks like a serious problem for the home side.

SpVgg Greuther Fürth host Magdeburg on Friday evening in a 2. Bundesliga clash that pits a defensively unreliable home side against visitors who are carrying serious momentum. Something has to give.

VfL Bochum host SpVgg Greuther Fürth on Saturday looking to build on a strong home record, but the visitors carry a defensive pattern away from home that could make this a tighter afternoon than the standings suggest.

Nürnberg carry a perfect start into this Friday evening fixture against a Hannover side that has lost both of its opening games. The structural contrast between these two teams is striking, and it will define how this match unfolds.

SpVgg Greuther Fürth host 1. FC Heidenheim on Sunday in a fixture where the underlying numbers point firmly towards goals at both ends, and where two sides with deeply contrasting xG stories could expose each other in uncomfortable ways.

Nürnberg arrive at Holstein Kiel on Saturday carrying six points from six and serious momentum. The question is whether Kiel's notoriously leaky away days can exploit a Nürnberg side that barely ever concedes at home but keeps drawing on the road.
