Ansbach vs Nurnberg tips and predictions

Won't be easy for Ansbach

While they have been trading blows in different leagues there is some evidence to like the chances of the hosts. While it's not very unusual to see these big odds against the home team they they can make a fist of this.

It's odds-on for at least a few goals. This should be entertaining.

A lot of people are dismissing the home win but at the odds up for grabs they're terrific value.

Ansbach can look at some of the defeats in Nurnberg's recent results. Losses have slowly been stacking up for this away squad over their last 7 fixtures. They've been defeated 6 times during these 7 starts. For a team so short in the betting, perhaps they'd be expected to have done better than this.

And there are other aspects of this fixture that need to be considered if you're interested in their short price. They just don't look like a sure thing.

Ansbach need to accept that their chances are likely to come against the run of play. If the hosts really get this done they will need to build on their recent performances. They have scored three or more goals in all of their recent 3 matches and that's been backed up throughout the squad. At the back they've kept a clean sheet in 6 of their last 12 home games.

Away from home Nurnberg have conceded three or more goals in 3 of their last 4 matches. And the home side's defenders will be desperately looking for any evidence that they won't be looking down the barrel of an annihilated as the wide odds are suggesting. The visitors haven't been able to depend on their goal-scorers in their latest engagements. They've been goalless in 5 of their last 9 matches.

It might be that the expansive style of the hosts' recent performances will pay dividends. If they are to somehow pull it off, it is critical that they build on those performances.

If Nurnberg are to justify their short price they may come out eager to maintain a clean sheet. The No BTTS bet seems fair. Obviously all of this depends on how the hosts manage a calibre of football they aren't used to.
