Hannover 96

Fifth-placed Hannover 96 recently dropped points in games, but managed a 1-0 win over Eintracht Braunschweig in the last round. That win kept them just two points behind second SV Elversberg, so this is a very important game for them.

Hannover 96 are a good home team, but four of their total of six defeats this season came at home. Still, they won three of their last five at home, including their last one against Eintracht Braunschweig.

Hannover 96 have not won any of their five 2. Bundesliga duels against SV Elversberg, with three ending in draws and two in defeats.

Next week, Hannover 96 will face another Bundesliga contender in SV Darmstadt 98, so this is where they have to remain unbeaten to stay in the promotion race.

SV Elversberg

SV Elversberg won four of their last six 2.Bundesliga matches, including a convincing 3-1 win over Arminia Bielefeld in the last round.

They are in good form overall, but underperformed in their last two away matches, drawing with Holstein Kiel and losing to Greuther Furth, both relegation-threatened teams.

They also have a big match against the leaders, Schalke 04, next week, so we should expect some fireworks in this game, with them chasing points.

The Betting Verdict

Three of the five duels between the sides ended in 2-2 draws, and I predict another high-scoring match.

Both sides have almost identical records, with even goal differences; SV Elversberg are just slightly better defensively.

In this match, I would go with both teams to score, and a high-scoring draw is also possible.

The Pick :

Hannover 96 2-2 SV Elversberg

FIXED ODDS BETTING :

Take both teams to score: YES at odds of 1.57 at Bet365
