Team News

Borussia Dortmund
  • Kevin Großkreutz and Ivan Perisic compete for the spot on the left wing.
  • Shinji Kagawa returns from injury and could start centrally behind Robert Lewandowski, with Lucas Barrios moving to the bench again.
Hannover 96
  • Emanuel Pogatetz returns from suspension and could replace Mario Eggimann or Karim Haggui at centre-back.
  • Steven Cherundolo and Sofian Chahed compete for the spot at right-back.
  • Mame Biram Diouf and Mohammed Abdellaoue are most likely to start up front again, allowing Jan Schlaudraff to switch to the right wing.

Prediction

  • Dortmund have been in impressive form for months now and they are three points ahead of second-placed Gladbach. Their defence is very solid and offensively they always create chances.
  • Hannover have found their form again after the winter break and their counter-attacking 4-4-2 is working as well as last season again. With many players returning from injury and suspension, manager Slomka has a huge pool to pick from.
  • Expect Dortmund to dominate the game and Hannover to wait for their chances on the break. The home team should be clear favourites to win.
