Mannheim’s recent performance
It was also a Bundesliga 2 team Mannheim’s debut opponent in the 2022/2023 German Cup season. Acting as home team, he needed penalty kicks to survive Kiel. The duel, which was equal without goals during regulation period and also in extra time, was defined in their favor by 5 to 3 after nine penalties executed.
Playing in Liga 3, the Third Division of the German Championship, Mannheim had on Saturday, October 15, a five-goal battle against Freiburg II. Acting outside his domain, he got the worst of it. It was beaten by 3 to 2, turning around. He took the lead with Rossipal’s goal in the 32nd minute of the opening period. The hosts reacted in the second half. In the first minute, Wiklof returned the equalizer to the scorer. At seven minutes, Vermeij scored the second.
Keita-Ruel, at 15 minutes, still scored the second for Mannheim, who didn’t even have time to celebrate. In the next minute, Vermeij returned the mark ensuring the victory of Freiburg II. With 19 points (six wins, one draw and five defeats), Mannheim dropped to eighth in the Liga3 leaderboard. It is three points below Ingolstad, third place, which closes the access zone for Segunda División.
The current form of Nuernberg
Nuernberg opened their campaign in the 2022/2023 version of the German Cup against the modest Kaan-Marienborn, who participate in the West Regional League, one of the five regional competitions that have Fourth Division status. He had no major difficulties in imposing his favoritism. Even playing outside their domains, they scored 2-0 guaranteeing the right to continue in the dispute.
The battle to gain access to the elite division, however, has been far more difficult. On Saturday, October 15, after three straight defeats, Nuernberg was able to stop the bleeding by overcoming Fortuna Duesseldorf, outside of their domains. In a confrontation for the twelfth round of Bundesliga 2, they won by 1 to 0. The goal that gave the victory was scored by Duah, from Castrop’s assistance, two minutes into the second half.
This allowed Nuernberg to advance to 13 points (four wins, one draw and seven defeats). Enough to appear in the fourteenth position of the league table of the Second Division of the German Championship. They are 11 points less than Hamburg, third placed, which closes the access zone for the Bundesliga. The biggest concern is with the possibility of relegation. They have just three points more than Furth, who are in sixteenth place, who open the sticking region for Liga3. As a visitor, he played for 21 points and won seven (two wins, one draw and four defeats). He scored seven goals and conceded 13.
Prediction and final prediction for Mannheim v Nuernberg:
The performance that Mannheim and Nuerenberg have been showing in their leagues indicates that the technical difference between the teams is not the greatest. Thus, the prognosis in equality is the indicated guess for this Tuesday’s confrontation for the second phase, the 16th final stage, of the German Cup in its 2022/2023 season.
