Match Preview
In this upcoming friendly match, Rot-Weiß Erfurt will host Nürnberg II at the Multifunktionsarena Erfurt on Friday, 18 July. Erfurt enters the match with a mixed bag of results, having won two of their last five fixtures, while Nürnberg II has shown a slightly better form with three wins in the same period. Historically, the two teams have faced each other ten times, with Erfurt winning only once, which may add psychological pressure on the home side to perform.
One key angle to consider is Erfurt's recent home advantage. Their last two home matches ended in victories, suggesting they are building momentum on familiar turf. Conversely, Nürnberg II's away form has been less convincing, with two losses in their last five outings. With odds favouring Erfurt at 1.91, they may be worth backing, especially given the absence of goals in previous encounters between the two teams. The odds for over 2.5 goals sit at 1.33, indicating a belief in a potentially low-scoring affair, but Erfurt's home advantage could tilt the match in their favour.
