A glance at the teams' historical encounters reveals that Schalke 04 have an edge with 29 victories to Nurnberg's 15, in addition to 16 draws. However, the visitors are having a less-than-optimum season and talks of moving up to the Bundesliga seem premature, as they are currently fighting for survival. My money is on a Nurnberg victory.
