Bor. M'Gladbach - Hannover 96

Very important match for both sides because with a win they can close the gap already to top the top 6 and their aim getting closer. Both started this season in EL but both are already out of this competition therefore they are trying to get this feeling next season again. Gladbach played solid in the past matches and they are very hard to beat at home anyway. With their excellent style of play they can hurt almost all opponents, what is a bit different today as both teams almost like the counter play but one of them must come out and try a little bit more from beginning on. This can keep a lot of space to the other team. But nevertheless Gladbach scored in all their home matches so far and I do not doubt that they are not able to do this job again against Hannover who is a very weak side away from home where they conceded a lot so far. Sure Gladbach should not waste like they did against Gladbach and Bremen where Mlapa had always the big chance to decide this but missed. Midfielder Marx is back from suspension and ready for today but it is not sure if Favre wants to change or let Xhaka in the starting lineup.

Very strong home team but very weak away from home, this can be the key for Hannover to miss the EL places this season. They got only 7 points on the road in 12 matches. This is far to less to play for an upper spot. According to their mistakes in defensive they are not able to keep a clean sheet in 11 matches, the only one they managed it was first match against Wolfsburg 4-0. All the others they are very unstable, maybe some excuse with so many matches in their legs but if they want to be a top team they have to manage it. The offensive looks very good from Hannover with excellent players and they are always able to create or score in any situations. This is one of their advantage but sometimes they are to focus on offensive and forget the defensive. 

As both teams are on top with their scoring efficient (Gladbach 32,1 and Hannover 35,9 = best value in Bundesliga) I like the goals here. Hannover conceded always, Gladbach scored always at home, and if one team take the lead this match is very open and both teams like the counter attacks what give a lot of opportunity in 90. minutes. Both need the win if they want to keep EL hopes alive, therefore we can expect an open match.
