Münster coach Ende on Nuremberg
"I'm expecting to face an opponent in a similar situation to ourselves. They've also had a lot of bad luck recently. They will do all they can to turn things around."
Nuremberg boss Klose on Münster
"We're facing a team with a new manager [Alexander Ende]. Münster like to have a lot of possession and dominate their opponents. It's going to be a tough challenge and a yardstick for us."
Schenk faces his old club
The Schweinfurt-born Johannes Schenk spent time the Club's youth academy, before departing for Bayern Munich's academy in 2017.
The wait continues
Münster last took points off Nuremberg in the inaugural Bundesliga season in 1963, when they drew 2-2 away from home. Their last win was even further back, however. It came 74 years ago on 3 June 1951, when they edged a 6-4 goal spectacle in the Preußenstadion.
Nuremberg have history on their side
Their good record against Münster extends back to the 1960s, too, when they got the better of them in the 1964 Bundesliga season, winning 1-0 in Münster, as well as in the 1968 DFB Cup where they won 4-0 at home.
Advantage Nuremberg?
The visitors won both of their Bundesliga 2 encounters against Münster last season, each time through late goals (3-2 at home, 1-0 in Münster).
