Nuremberg (dpa / lby) – 1. FC Nuremberg travels with personal victories and respect to the difficult away game in the 2nd Bundesliga at home this season undefeated promotion contenders 1. FC Heidenheim. “You know the people from Heidenheim. They run very well, are very good in tackles, very man-oriented. They can eat up an opponent,” said coach Markus Weinzierl, recalling the home game on Friday when Heidenheim won 3-0.

Weinzierl was not yet a “club” coach at that time. And in Heidenheim, a similar Nuremberg sinking should not be repeated on Sunday (1:30 p.m.). His team had to “fight back”, Weinzierl demanded, be present in running and win the duels. It is uncertain whether the injured offensive players Mats Möller Daehli and Kwadwo Duah will be available after bruises.
