This game is an interesting one above all if you take a look at both teams and what they have to play for. Wolfsburg are not sure second and they need some Points because they are only 4 Points ahead of Gladbach. This is their main target now. On the other side Hannover has much more problems, they fight against relegation and after they have changed their Coach it was not well anyway last weekend. It is hard to see this team not get more and more in trouble above all they have not real spirit and mood in their team right now. Coach Frontzeck has not found the right words and also not the right system so far. Nevertheless this is a hard derby and it can be very hot on the pitch and also under both supporter groups.
After knocking out from Euro League Wolfsburgs aim was to reach the Cup final, this job they have done very easy with a 3-0 win against the 3rd league leader Bielefeld. Next target must be to safe second place, nothing more nothing less. But moreover they can bring Hannover more in trouble today with a win. At home they are very strong and it not obvious that they win this encounter above after failing the last two home games against Hannover. This time they want to do better and the situation is much better additional. The team is in great form and the players are hot to get the next big party in their Arena. Compared to the Cup game under the week it can be that Coach Hecking rotates a bit. Possible changes can be Knoche for Klose, Schäfer for Rodriguez, Guilavogui for Arnold and Bendtner for Dost. But all in all it is not such a big changes because all key players are for sure on the pitch and the team is getting not much weaker if Hecking takes this in mind.
A lot of work to do in Hannover above all after Frontzeck is head Coach there. They hopes are there to do better after 14 winless games but it was a bit different. They lost a bit unlucky at home because the referee count the first goal from Hoffenheim which was clear offside. But this happen and they have to live with them. Therefore never look back, they must look forward and invest all their available power to get Points and more, they need wins to get out of the trouble they are more and more involved. Hard times for Frontzeck anyway because with Bittencourt he miss a creative and important guy in midfield and also absolutely key player and captain Stindl who lead the team well in the past is suspended here. This brings him a bit in trouble but he wants to count on the same lineup as against Hoffenheim. The only changes is maybe Kiyotake for Stindl. The have to improve a lot if they want to be an even opponent for Wolfsburg here.
More or less, this is a clear thing normally despite derby time. I am expecting Wolfsburg running over Hannover if they are not able to minimize their mistakes in defensive. Wolfsburg has the players to use all mistakes immediately and the players are very quick. Of course all is possible in a game but the actual form and squad material speaks clear for Wolfsburg and this is my choice here.
Recommend Bet: VfL Wolfsburg AHC -1,25 @ 1,91 (3 Units)
