Nuremberg against Münster: Historical duel in the 2nd Bundesliga!

On Saturday, October 5, 2024, an exciting duel in the 2nd Bundesliga is on the program. The 1. FC Nürnberg receives the SC Prussia Münster for the eighth matchday. This encounter has a special historical note, because the two teams have not measured themselves in a point game for over 60 years.

The last direct comparison took place in the 1963/64 season when both clubs debuted as founding members of the Bundesliga. Münster won the first of the time on the way to the 1951 runner -up championship against Nuremberg. Despite these historical successes, the Prussians have never returned to the Bundesliga since their relegation season, which increases the importance of this game. In the current league ranking, both teams are in the lower third of the table-the 14th against the 16th, only separated by two points.

an urgent need for points

In the latest form curve, the 1st FC Nürnberg is under pressure. The team recently had to accept two defeats, including a disappointing 0: 2 against Hertha BSC and a similar result in Hanover. The last victory dates from the mid-September, when the team was able to celebrate a 2-1 win against the promoted Ulm. Especially in the home games, people have recently been reserved, with a further defeat (0: 4) against Magdeburg in their luggage and only one win since August against Schalke (3: 1).

The SC Prussia Münster also had a bitter season start. After a first win of the season against Regensburg (3-0) there seemed to be a turn, but before that the away games were unsuccessful, including a 1: 4 defeat against Hamburger SV. These inconsistent services fuel the urgency to score points in Nuremberg.

personnel changes

trainer Miroslav Klose has to make some personnel adjustments to create the turn. Jens Castrop is not available due to a lock, which makes him the first player to receive a yellow lock in this second division season. Lukas Schleimer is also found on the bench, while Rafael Lubach and Stefanos Tzimas move to the starting eleven. On the part of Münster, after the home defeat against Schalke 1: 2, there is also a change. Trainer Sascha Hildmann appoints Thorben Deters instead of Daniel Kyerewaa in the initial formation.

The game is kicked off at 1:00 p.m. and promises to become a memorable game for the teams and fans who think of an exciting derby and nostalgia of past encounters. The atmosphere could not only be filled with the hope of a victory, but also of a good dose of history.
