VfL Wolfsburg - Hannover 96

Statistic:

- Hannover won all 4 matches in the past against Wolfsburg.
- With the next win it would be a new record for them, as they managed never 5 wins in a row !!!
- Wolfsburg is unbeaten since 9 BL matches (6-3-0).
- This is the best streak beside Bayern Munich at the moment in BL.
- Wolfsburg is the best team in the league with winning 54,1% of their duels on pitch.
- Hannover 96 has a new coach with Tayfun Korkut. He is an unknown one but was Co in Turkey.
- Additional a very hard Programm for 96 as 3 of their 4 matches take place away from home.

- VfL Wolfsburg played the best first half of the season so far. With collecting 30 Points.
- Of course they had the same numbers 2004/05 but the goal difference was much weaker.

Missing: Ochs suspended, Vierinha injured and Polak too. On the other side H96 with Ya Konan, Felipe, Pander and Sobiech much more and important players too.

The sign from Wolfsburg was clear at winter break above all after sining new player De Bryne from Chelsea for 22 Mio. They want to reach the Champions league spot and for this they invested again. Now the team is much stronger and the duels for a place in starting lineup begins. Maybe Coach Hecking must change a bit as with Träsch has one player the flue and is not ready yet. But this should not be a big problem if we take a look at such a good and on a high level squad which Wolfsburg has at the moment.

On the other side Hannover suffered a lot above all on the road and this costs Slomka his job. He never was near a Point on the road as they made to many mistakes and played not such a good style as they did at home to beginning of the season. This should change now as with Korkut a new and fresh man is on the sideline and all hopes are no him now. It is not out 100% which team he wants to field as I think he has some in mind and change some too.
