Hannover

DWDLLL 📉

Hannover will be looking for an improved result here after a 3-1 Bundesliga 2 loss in their previous game against Darmstadt.

In that match, Hannover managed 60% possession and 13 attempts at goal with 5 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Hannover was Andreas Voglsammer (82'). On the other side, Darmstadt 98 got 12 shots on goal with 7 on target. Fraser Hornby (1', 92') and Kyllian Corredor (83') scored for Darmstadt.

It has not been often in recent games that Hannover have kept a clean sheet. The facts show that Hannover have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 matches, shipping 9 goals in the process. Having said that, time will tell whether the trend shall be sustained in this game or not.

Their prior results show that Hannover:

• have not been beaten in the league by Cologne in their last 3 games.
• are winless against Cologne in their last 4 league games.
• haven’t won at home in the past 7 league matches. Their supporters are understandably frustrated.

ℹ️ Team News: Hannover

There’s just the sole fitness concern for the Hannover gaffer André Breitenreiter to be concerned with due to a largely intact group of players. Jessic Ngankam (Tibia and fibula fracture) misses out.

💡 Prediction

Here is a game where Hannover will need to apply a lot of pressure to be putting a goal past this Cologne team who we think should end up scoring and possibly keep a clean sheet as well.

We therefore fancy a highly competitive game with a 0-1 winning score for Cologne at the end of the 90.

Hopefully it’s a good one.
