Hoffenheim vs Nurnberg Prediction and Betting Tips | October 30th 2024
Hoffenheim will host Nurnberg at the PreZero Arena on Wednesday in another round of the 2024-25 DFB Pokal campaign. The home side have endured a disappointing start to their Bundesliga campaign and will hope they can find solace elsewhere this week.
They kicked off their DFB Pokal campaign away to Wurzburger Kickers earlier in the season, playing out a disappointing 2-2 draw after 120 minutes before going on to win the game on penalties with Julian Justvan scoring a crucial winner before joining Der Club days later.
Meanwhile, Nurnberg are enjoying a good run of form after a slow start to their season and will be looking to build on that in the domestic cup this week. They traded tackles with Saarbrucken in their cup opener back in August, with Michael Sevcik's early opener canceled out by their opponents late in regular time before the Bavarian outfit went on to win on penalties.
Der Club faced Hansa Rostock at this stage of the competition last season, picking up a 3-2 win. They will be targeting similar heights this Wednesday.
