Nurnberg - Wurzburger Kickers - L II

Round 13 of the Bundesiga II season starts today:  Nurnberg and Wurzburger Kickers will meet face to face on Friday, 12:30 p.m. EST (U.S.A).  Nurnberg is 9th in the standings with 18 points, the team recorded 5 victories, 3 draws and 4 losses.  Wurzburger Kickers is ranked 6th in the standings with 20 points; the team recorded this season 6 victories, 2 draws and 4 losses.  The two teams have met only once before in a friendly match and the result was 2-2.  With that, I pick the  "Double Chance" option, i.e. a home win or a draw. [Unless the amount to bet is specified, our predictions are generally made for a $100 wager.]

UPDATE November 18, 2016 - FINAL Result: Nurnberg  2-2  Wurzburger Kickers. Nurnberg picked up at least one point in this game, as we expected, but missed the chance to win it. The home team had so many chances to get the victory, but failed in the end after taking a 1-0 lead - G. Burgstaller in the 45' put the home side upfront, but then in the 54' Soriano and in the 56' Pisot, scored twice (for 2 mins.) for the visitors, who took a surprising lead at this point 1-2. However, Nurnberg had 59% ball possession vs. only 41% for the visitors; Nurnberg also had 7 corners vs. only 2 for the visitors. The home squad did not deserve to lose this game, so they scored an equalizer in the 89' - Hovland put the ball in the net 2:2.  In any event, with the draw Nurnberg is still 9th in the table of Bundesliga II with 19 pts., and our bet is a winner.
