Greuther Furth
Greuther Fürth has suffered four defeats in their last six 2. Bundesliga matches. Most recently, they lost 1-0 against Schalke 04 last week.
They had a very strange approach in that game. They looked more interested in sitting back and defending a goalless draw than in getting points. They only woke up after Schalke 04 scored late in the second half.
Anyhow, Greuther Fürth ranks worst in some important categories. Their defense is the leakiest in 2.Bundesliga, with 16 goals conceded in 7 matches.
Greuther Fürth is also struggling in terms of ball possession – they have averaged 45% possession in their seven games so far, which suggests they are not a very active side that creates chances.
Hannover 96
Hannover 96 played an impressive last game, which they managed to turn from 0-1 down at half-time and win 3-1 against Arminia Bielefeld.
It was a necessary win after two winless games (a draw and a defeat), so now they travel to face poor Greuther Fürth in higher spirits.
So far, Hannover 96 have won five of their seven 2.Bundesliga matches, establishing themselves as early promotion contenders. They have suffered just one league defeat in their 11 games, a streak that has spanned all the way to last season.
Also, Hannover 96 has been very solid offensively, scoring twice or more in five of their last six 2.Bundesliga matches.
All their recent games involved a lot of goals, with each of their last five ending with over 2.5 goals scored.
Bad team news from last week is the muscle injury of the regular defender, Ime Okon, who is now expected to spend time on the sidelines. He joined the team this summer from South Africa and has started in every game this season.
The Betting Verdict
Hannover 96 has remained unbeaten in five of the last six duels against Greuther Fürth (three wins, two draws). However, they lost on their last trip there 1-0 and played a 1-1 draw in the most recent match in May.
Now Hannover 96 is in better shape than Greuther Fürth, plus they restored their confidence with their comeback win over Arminia Bielefeld last week.
Greuther Fürth has lost both of their last two home matches, so here I would go with Hannover 96 winning the game at good odds.

Greuther Fürth 0-2 Hannover 96
