The German 2. Bundesliga is starting to pick up pace. In the second round, one of the more interesting games should be between Nurnberg and Darmstadt at Max-Morlock-Stadion in Nuremberg. While the hosts look for their first points after a 1:0 loss in the opening game against Elversberg, Darmstadt aim to continue with good results after beating Bochum 4:1 on the opening day.

2. Bundesliga
Last season, these teams met twice. At Max-Morlock-Stadion, Nurnberg won 1:0, and we saw a 1:1 draw at Merck-Stadion am Bollenfalltor Darmstadt. Looking further back, these teams met a total of 15 times over the course of history, and we mostly saw close matches. Nurnberg won five times, while Darmstadt was victorious on six occasions.
Nurnberg team overview
Since getting relegated from the Bundesliga in the 2018/19 season, Nurnberg struggled to be competitive and weren't even close to returning. They were mostly a mid-table team, and we doubt they can make a big leap and change something drastically, especially after a mediocre offseason, at best.
In the season's opening game, they lost 1:0 to Elversberg, but that team missed the Bundesliga promotion by one point. So, despite losing the match, we are not too disappointed with what we have seen from the Bavarian team.

Darmstadt team overview
Darmstadt suffered relegation in the 2023/24 season and had an underwhelming follow-up season, finishing 12th. Still, after a good off-season where they won four of five games against mixed opponents, the Lilies were fantastic on the 2. Bundesliga opening day. They humiliated Bochum 4:1, a team that just came from the Bundesliga and is considered one of the promotion candidates. Yes, that is only one game, but it is definitely a good indication of what this team is capable of.

Prediction
Nurnberg opened the season with a 1:0 loss to Elversberg. If we include the friendlies, the Bavarian team are on a four-game losing streak. On the other hand, Darmstadt had an excellent pre-season and the opening game. In the pre-season, they won four of five games, with their best win being against St. Gallen (4:2) - a Swiss Super League team.
But the most impressive thing about Darmstadt was the opening match against Bochum, where they were excellent and easily beat the last season's Bundesliga team 4:1.
Considering the difference in form and all the above, we believe the visitors are closer to winning the upcoming 2. Bundesliga tie.
3 Reasons why Darmstadt should (AH 0) win
- Nurnberg lost the first game of the season vs Elversberg 1:0
- Nurnberg lost four in a row (friendlies included)
- Darmstadt opened the season with a big 4:1 win over Bochum
