Bremerhaven vs Nuremberg Prediction 16 October 2026

The home side are priced at 1.72 to win, despite having lost their last two games. Nuremberg are also struggling, having suffered four defeats in their last five matches. Both teams need a stronger performance, but Bremerhaven's home advantage could prove decisive in this matchup.

Bremerhaven have won only once in their last five games, losing the other four. Their sole victory came against Frankfurt Lions, whom they beat 2-1 at home. However, they have since suffered a 0-3 defeat against Eisbären Berlin and a 0-3 loss away to Augsburger. Earlier, Bremerhaven were beaten 3-4 by Straubing and 2-3 by Wolfsburg. Their recent results reveal problems in attack, as they have scored just seven goals across these five games. The consecutive shutouts are particularly concerning, and the team will need to rediscover its scoring touch to take advantage of playing at home.

Nuremberg have also endured a difficult stretch, losing four of their last five matches. They were beaten 2-4 by Kölner Haie, lost 2-5 to Adler Mannheim and suffered a 1-4 defeat against Eisbären Berlin. Their only victory came in a convincing 5-0 win over Schwenninger, while their latest game against Straubing ended in a 2-3 defeat after overtime. Nuremberg have scored 12 goals in these five games, showing more attacking output than Bremerhaven, but their defense has conceded 18. That weakness has repeatedly made it difficult for them to turn competitive periods into positive results.

Both teams have defensive issues, but Nuremberg's recent results suggest they may struggle to contain the hosts if Bremerhaven can regain their attacking rhythm. The home side have not been scoring freely, yet they have already demonstrated that they can grind out a narrow victory at Eisarena Bremerhaven. Nuremberg's tendency to concede multiple goals could provide the hosts with opportunities to regain confidence.

This is not a risk-free selection given Bremerhaven's two recent shutout defeats. However, Nuremberg's poor defensive record and their own run of losses make the home team the preferred option. Playing in front of their supporters could give Bremerhaven the advantage in what is likely to be a closely contested game.
