Hannover 96 - VfB Stuttgart

As almost in every season Hannover must count on their home strength to reach an international spot again. It is very close this season and many teams have chances so it would be very helpful to collect as much points as they can. They did them a favor with the win in Augsburg but this was only due to stupid Augsburg who were not able to use one of their 100% chances and it came as it must in soccer, the other team score and this was Hannover 96 who finished two excellent counter attacks. Everyone know their style of play but if they are up they are very hard to beat because they get the space they need and with their excellent fast players in offensive they are always able to overcome their opponents. Sure at home it is a bit different but they are very successfully there with 8-3-2. Additional boost should be the return of striker Diouf after he was suspended against Augsburg.

On the other side Stuttgart had hard weeks behind them and with the win against Frankfurt they showed that they are able to stay away from relegation fight. Sure with 32 points they are not absolutely out of danger but they are a bit safer. Nevertheless they have to continue their way and manage some points to be absolutely safe. For this Coach Labbadia must replace defender Niedermeier who is suspended and also wing Harnik is not available due to his 5th yellow card. Sure a blow for them but they can count on Traore, Maxim who is in excellent form, Kvist, Gentner and Ibisevic in offensive. So 1-2 players they can be replaced but they know the situation very well and should find some way as they had a lot of problems with injured players this season already. With Cacau, Torun and Didavi they miss 3 long term injured anyway.

The matchup should be clear, as only with a win Hannover 96 can close the gap to the top 6 where they want to stand in the end again. This means an international spot for them and this is their aim.  We can consider Hannover as strong home team and they score much more at home as away, they are always very dangerous in their own arena while Stuttgart is very unstable in defensive but have also some weapons in offensive who can make some trouble therefore OVER should be a good choice in this encounter.
