Nürnberg played a solid season so far and they are on the best way to stay away from relegation trouble. With 25 points they are already 9 points ahead of 16th place and in this case they have not such pressure at the moment. After Hecking left to Wolfsburg, new man on the line Wiesinger tooks over and he makes a good job and understand to motivate his team and also choose the right tactic. In 4 matches where he was on the line now his stats are average with 1-2-1. They got a point against Hamburg where they were the weaker side, lost in Dortmund 0-3, won at home against Gladbach and draw in Frankfurt 0-0. Of course against Gladbach it went all their way because they got a penalty in first minute and help them a lot and their style of play as Gladbach had to open a lot therefore they us one counter for 2-0 lead. Coach from Galdbach was not very angry because it was more a dive from Frantz as a penalty. One week later they played really well against Frankfurt and had a lof of opportunities but waste all although they were the better side and destroyed Frankfurt's play very well. In 90. minutes they almost were never in danger to lose this. But nevertheless this match showed already their problems because if they can not score or take the lead it is very hard for them to get some space which is needed for their play. They are not known as a team who get out and push and overcome their opponents. But exactly this is needed against Hannover because I do not expect Hannover plays offensive or make the play, they let Nürnberg do this and this is the problem for home side. If they are not able to score fast as they did against Gladbach, this match is very close and very open.
Wow what a streak from Hannover 96, they are winless since 5 matches, even more they lost the last 5 matches. Of course they are not such bad but they have / had a lot of problems above all on the road. Maybe to many changes in the past and also some injured players help not much but sooner or later their negative streak comes to an end. They started with 4-5 against Schalke, where they produced to many mistakes in defensive while their offensive worked well but could not score as much as they conceded. Last away match against Bremen was good in defensive for around 80. minutes but conceded two late goals and lost in the end 0-2. In this match they were only focused on defensive and forgot to hurt Bremen a bit. It was more one way from Bremen and it was clear that sooner or later the goal will come as Hannover was not able to provide some relief. Their offensive looks good and they were at least always able to score one, only against Bayern and Bremen they were not able. If they want to continue their hopes for Euro League next season they have to start collecting points on the road and if they get some or even a win they are very close to Top 6 and all is possible. Coach Slomka gets some options because with Franca their new signing is ready now and maybe can replace on of the guys in central midfield like Pinto or Schmiedebach. Still out are Andreasen, Eggimann, Cherundolo, Felipe, Stindl and Pocognoli.
All in all I expect a close match where Nürnberg as home team has to be the playmaker and Hannover count on their fast counter attacks which has brought much success in the past month. In this case Nürnberg is getting problems as they have not the players for this play and they have always problems with this matches, above all if they can not take the lead immediately and if they fall behind it is getting more difficult for them additional. I see Hannover well prepared and I do not think that they lose their 6 match in a row on the road. Their stats, matchplan and class of players speaks for them today.
Recommend Bet: Hannover 96 AHC +0,5 @ 1,90 (3 Units)
