Fewer than three goals per match were seen in 5 of the past 6 meetings where Hertha Berlin have been participants.

The stats don’t lie, and Hannover have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, with opponents netting 9 goals in total. In defence, Hannover could really do with shoring things up.

📋 Team News: Hertha Berlin

Jeremy Dudziak (Adductor injury), Bilal Hussein (Ankle injury), Pascal Klemens (Head injury), John Brooks (Ankle injury) and Marten Winkler (Adductor pain) are unavailable for Hertha Berlin gaffer Stefan Leitl.

We think that Hertha may well make use of the 3-5-2 system and select Dennis Smarsch, Michal Karbownik, Toni Leistner, Marton Dardai, Jonjoe Kenny, Michael Cuisance, Diego Demme, Ibrahim Maza, Deyovaisio Zeefuik, Fabian Reese and F. Niederlechner.

📋 Team News: Hannover

Hannover manager André Breitenreiter has not got a full squad to pick from. Husseyn Chakroun (Capsular injury), Kenneth Schmidt (Inner ligament injury), Brooklyn Ezeh (Hamstring injury) and Jessic Ngankam (Tibia and fibula fracture) are not able to play.

We’re of the thinking that Hannover appear most likely to make use of a 3-4-3 formation with a starting lineup of Ron-Robert Zieler, Josh Knight, Marcel Halstenberg, Phil Neumann, Sei Muroya, Enzo Leopold, Fabian Kunze, Kolja Oudenne, Haavard Nielsen, Nicolo Tresoldi and Lars Gindorf.

✨ Prediction

In this match, Hertha Berlin will most probably get a lot of shots on goal and make them count.

At the same time, Hannover may well struggle to break down their defence but we do think that it’s more than likely that they will be scoring here.

We can therefore see a 3-1 margin for Hertha Berlin come full-time.
