Energie Cottbus - Nuernberg
Energie Cottbus host Nuernberg in 2. Bundesliga clash
Friday evening at the LEAG Energie Stadion, Energie Cottbus and Nuernberg meet for matchday 8 of the 2. Bundesliga. The hosts enter the contest looking to regain their footing after a difficult run, having recently suffered a 3-1 defeat against Darmstadt. While Energie Cottbus showed their attacking potential with a 3-0 victory over Karlsruher SC in September, consistency has proven elusive throughout the opening weeks of the campaign.
Nuernberg arrive in much stronger form, maintaining an unbeaten momentum that has seen them climb the table. Their resilience was on display during a high-scoring 4-4 draw with Wolfsburg on 10 October, following a solid 1-0 win against Karlsruher SC. With a potent attack that recently dismantled Arminia Bielefeld 4-1, the visitors will aim to exploit the defensive vulnerabilities Energie Cottbus have struggled to address in recent outings.
