German 2.Bundesliga
2026-02-22 - Hannover 96 vs Dynamo Dresden
A Sports Betting Preview by Niko
Football; Germany: 2.Bundesliga
Heinz von Heiden Arena – Hannover
Sunday, 22nd February 2026 - kickoff 13:30 CET
Hannover 96
Hannover 96 is the team with the best form in 2.Bundesliga entering this round. Winners of four matches in a row, Hannover 96 dominated in all wins (winning both at HT/FT) and scored twice or more in each of those four wins.
Last week’s 2-3 away win against Hertha Berlin was their sixth straight 2.Bundesliga match ending with 3+ goals. They have one of the most potent attacks in Germany’s second division, scoring 41 goals in 22 games, and I expect that trend of scoring at least twice to go on in this match as well.
Considering how congested it is at the top of 2.Bundesliga, with five serious Bundesliga contenders battling for the top two spots, goal difference may be crucial in the end. They are scoring a lot, which is a good sign.
At home, Hannover 96 are unbeaten in four games, winning three times. Their last two ended in 2-1 and 3-1 wins against Fortuna Düsseldorf and Holstein Kiel.
Dynamo Dresden
Dynamo Dresden is in the second automatic relegation spot before this round. Things do not look good for them, as the team has gone winless in three games (two draws) and lost last week 1-2 at home to SV Elversberg.
Nine of Dynamo Dresden’s last 11 games ended with three or more goals scored, so their matches are also high-scoring.
On a positive note, Dynamo Dresden remained unbeaten on their most recent two trips in the 2.Bundesliga, winning against Magdeburg and drawing against the favorites Schalke 04.
The Betting Verdict
Hannover 96 have impressed me in recent weeks. Four clear HT/FT wins in a row, lots of goals scored, and stable all around.
Dynamo Dresden achieved some respectable results lately, notably drawing away against top Schalke 04, but those are rare moments when they shine this season.
I expect quality to prevail in this game, with Hannover 96 riding the momentum and winning their fifth 2.Bundesliga match in a row.
