Two teams with high tradition in
Bundesliga meet on Saturday when Mönchengladbach plays against Nürnberg.
After they have done many modifications in the last years, Borussia Mönchengladbach hasn't changed much on their squad this season. They have a young, developable team that was improved in their offence with good players like Idrissou (SC Freiburg) and De Camargo (4 Mio, Liège). Mönchengladbach is traditionally strong at home, but had problems last season in their defence (60 goals conceded).
The 1.FC Nürnberg, who stayed in Bundesliga through the relegation matches against FC Augsburg last season, must relies on young talents because of financial reasons. While the defence stayed the same, the ‘Club' has made many changes in their offence. Nürnberg had the worst attack of the Bundesliga last season (32 goals) and is traditionally weak away.
