FC Nurnberg
- FC Nurnberg have won only two of their 11 away matches in 2. Bundesliga 2025/2026, losing seven.
- Miroslav Klose has been Nurnberg boss since June 2024 and his tactical identity has been more fluid, one based around possession and the ability to adapt to the game state.
- but they have struggled for goals on the road with just 10 scored across their 11 away fixtures.
- Nurnberg’s only win in their last five came against struggling Karlsruher SC, a 5-1 blowout at home.
Key Players
- However, their clinical form of late means that Mohamed Ali Zoma is a dangerous player for the Hertha BSC Berlin defence to deal with.
- The 26-year-old leads the line for Klose’s side with nine goals in 21 league games this season and has scored five of Nurnberg’s last eight.
- Hertha’s Luca Schuler is a similar threat for the hosts with seven in 18, but he is more of a focal point and Nurnberg will need to stop his supply line from Fabian Reese, a creative engine for Hertha with ten assists in 23 league matches this season.
