Match preview
An all-Zweite Bundesliga tie this one, thereby providing both clubs with a great chance to reach the quarter-finals.
When they met at Merkur Spiel-Arena in October, Kwadwo Duah was the only scorer at Nürnberg enjoyed a 1-0 victory on the road.
Despite this, Fortuna Düsseldorf are currently ten points better off, sat sixth, while their hosts are 16th.
Nürnberg are four-times DFB-Pokal winners, beating Stuttgart in the final as recently as 2007.
These days though, der Altmeister are desperately seeking to avoid dropping into 3.Liga for the first time since 1997.
Markus Weinzierl’s team are currently in the relegation play-off spot, following Saturday’s 1-0 defeat to Greuther Fürth, the only goal coming in stoppage time.
So, Fortuna Düsseldorf will fancy their chances of a victory in Bavaria.
Rheinländer were relegated from the Bundesliga in 2020, and are currently seven points adrift the promotion play-off place.
Fortuna reached back-to-back Pokal finals in 1979 and 1980, with Daniel Thioune determined to lead them back into a glamour quarter-final clash.
Will the away side leave Max-Morlock-Stadion victorious?
