Preussen Munster team overview
Preussen Munster come into Friday's Bundesliga II match still searching for their first win of the season after a DFB Pokal defeat earlier this week. After picking up one point from their first two league games, Preussen fell to a penalty shootout loss against Hertha on Monday.
Before their painful cup defeat, Munster had seen BTTS in each of five previous fixtures, including a 3:2 defeat against Karlsruhe on the opening day of the season.
Head coach Alexander Ende could freshen up his selection this weekend. Marco Meyerhofer and Charalambos Makridis are among those in contention to earn recalls to the first XI.

Nurnberg team overview
Nurnberg make the trip to Preußenstadion having made a poor start to their season. Having slipped to consecutive 1:0 defeats against Elversberg and Darmstadt in the Bundesliga II, Miroslav Klose´s side then suffered a shock DFB Pokal defeat against FV Illertissen. After a thrilling 3:3 draw, Der Club fell to a 6:5 reversal via spotkicks.
High-scoring outcomes were frequent in Nurnberg's Bundesliga II away fixtures last season. An average of 3.4 goals were scored in 17 road games.
Nurnberg boss Klose is likely to shuffle his pack as the visitors look to avoid a third successive Bundesliga II defeat. Caspar Jander and Artem Stepanov are among those tipped to earn recalls to the first XI.

Prediction
Both teams will be keen to get more points on the board, and that should lead to an open contest with chances at both ends.
BTTS is my preferred pick on Friday.
Three Reasons Why We Expect BTTS
- Preussen Munster have seen BTTS in 5 of their last 6 matches
- Nurnberg have seen BTTS in 4 of their last 7 matches
- Nurnberg won 3:2 in last season's reverse fixture
