Confirmed 2. Bundesliga Lineups: SV Darmstadt 98 vs. 1. FC Nürnberg | OneFootball

Promotion hopefuls Darmstadt host Nürnberg in the one of the opening two fixtures of matchday 19 in 2. Bundesliga. The hosts have an opportunity to close the gap with Schalke to a single point before the league leaders face Kaiserslautern on Sunday.

Nürnberg could put more pressure on the chasing pack after starting the new year with a dramatic win over Elversberg. However, coach Miroslav Klose and left-back Berkay Yilmaz, who have played every minute this season, are absent due to suspensions.

Here are the two lineups for the Friday night clash at Böllenfalltor.
