The team form 1899 is on the bottom of the table and they can with a win overcome rival Stuttgart. This can be and should be motivation enough to get the first home win this Season. Above all against an opponent they love to play in recent years. If we take a look on the games at home from Hoffenheim they are not such bad at all in their own Stadium. They lost only to 3 opponents like Bayern, Bremen and Hamburg. But they had also good results like against Dortmund 1-1 or last game where they were very close to get the first home win against Gladbach but they could not hold a 3-1 lead and played only 3-3 in the end. Of course this match suffer a lot on them but the last match against Ingolstadt where they equalized in 96. minute to 1-1 should be boost them for the game against Hannover today. Coach Stevens should find the right balance between offensive and defensive and additional he can count on all his players. Therefore he can choose and find the best possible lineup for today.

Hannover is coming to Hoffenheim with some problems in bag according to their squad. They are also in trouble and not far away from drop zone what makes this match very important for them too. But with a lot of important players not available it is hard for Coach Frontzeck to find the right replacements and also the right tactic against bottom side 1899. With most important midfield player Kiyotake (9 matches / 3 goals) they miss their head in midfield, also with him they got 3 wins, 1 draw and 5 defeats while without him they are 1-1-4. The only win without him they got two weeks ago against newcomer Ingolstadt 4-0 at home. Their last match in Schalke was nothing, only in the end they got some pressure in their actions. Next important one is striker Sobiech (3 goals), Bech (1 goal) and Klaus (1 goal). This means that from their 18 scored goals are 10 already out. Above all Kiyotake and Sobiech are a big miss for them today as mentioned above. It is not the best situation for Coach Frontzeck in front of this important match.

Overall we expect that 1899 can take advantage of the problems form Hannover 96 and celebrate the first home win this time. We mentioned it above that they play not so bad at home but the result was not in their favor. This is the game where they are in a good position and they must use it.

PICK: 1899 Hoffenheim AHC -0,25 @ 1,68 (3 Units / Flat Stake)
