Team News

Hannover 96
  • Karim Haggui is at the Cup of Nations with his national team, along with Didier Ya Konan, and could be replaced by Mario Eggimann once more.
  • Steven Cherundolo and Sofian Chahed compete for the spot at right-back.
  • Left-back Christian Schulz is injured and could be replaced by Christian Pander, allowing Konstantin Rausch to start in midfield.
  • Sergio Pinto could return from injury and start in central midifeld.
Nurnberg
  • With Juri Judt and Timothy Chandler both injured, Jens Hegeler could start out of position at right-back again.
  • Javier Pinola is injured as well and Adam Hlousek could replace him at left-back.
  • Timmy Simons and Almog Cohen could get their chances to start in central midfield, with new signing Hanno Balitsch still injured.
  • Manager Hecking could field an unchanged team.

Prediction

  • After five draws in a row, Hannover need a result at home against a team like Nürnberg. The possible return of Sergio Pinto should improve their attacking quality again and allow them to create more chances.
  • After a 2-0 home win against Hertha, Nürnberg had a good start to the second half of the season last weekend. The new 4-4-2 system allows them to create more chances down the flanks and Tomas Pekhart gets support from Christian Eigler in the middle.
  • Expect this to be a competitive and hard-fought game, with both teams getting plenty of chances during the 90 minutes. Hannover will rely on their counter-attacks, probably allowing Nürnberg to keep the majority of possession.
  • WHOSCORED.COM Predicts: 1-1 Draw
