Hannover Prediction
Hannover sit second from bottom in the Bundesliga with just 11 points to their name and now find themselves four points adrift of fourth from bottom club Augsburg and safety ahead of this difficult clash with Leipzig on Friday night.
Hannover find themselves in a dreadful mess and firmly ensconced in the relegation mire following a woeful run of results which have seen the hosts slump to six defeats in their last eight matches overall in the German top flight.
Losses to Borussia Moenchengladbach, Hertha Berlin, Bayern Munich, Fortuna Dusseldorf, Werder Bremen and a 5-1 thrashing away at Borussia Dortmund looks to have put the writing on the wall for Hannover as they try and get a win from somewhere.
The hosts possess a disappointing home record of 2-1-6 7/15 and this includes losing their last four on the trot at the HDI-Arena, scoring none but conceding a total of 8 goals against them.
- Hannover have lost 6 of their last 8 matches overall in the Bundesliga
- Hannover have lost their last 4 home matches on the trot
- 3 of RB Leipzig’s 4 away defeats this season have been at top half opposition
RB LeipzigPrediction
By contrast, RB Leipzig sit in the lofty position of 4th place and will no doubt be keen to put further daylight between themselves and 5th placed Hoffenheim who are three points adrift of Leipzig ahead of this weekend’s action in the German top flight, in order to maintain their claims for a top four finish and the promise of Champions League football next season.
Recent results though haven’t all gone the visitors’ way despite recent victories over Mainz 05, Werder Bremen and Fortuna Dusseldorf (the latter being a 4-0 win away from home), but they’ve also tasted defeat against Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund in recent weeks too.
However, it should be noted that the two recent losses were to the top two teams in German football right now, but Leipzig will be keen to improve upon a bit of a sketchy away record which stands at 3-2-4 11/11.
On a positive note, three of Leipzig’s four defeats on the road have been against top half opposition with the exception of a 3-0 loss at Freiburg, but the visitors should possess enough quality to get a result here.
Forwards Werner (11 goals) and Poulsen (10 goals) will be keen to add to their goal tallies here.
Betting Tips Verdict
Hannover are in a terrible state here and RB Leipzig should be able to take advantage in this one.
