Prediction
Kaiserslautern are all but down in the 2. Bundesliga next season and
need to find some motivation to finish the season in a good manner.
Nürnberg are full of confidence after an impressive win against Schalke
in the week. They could get out of the relegation battle with another
win here.
Expect Nürnberg to look for their chances early on. They should be favourites against a side all but down and out.
Kaiserslautern 0 - 2 Nurnberg
