Command Analysis
Hannover 96
GermanyCurrent Form
Hannover continues to compete in the 2. Bundesliga and has yet to secure a return to the top tier of German football. Last season, the team finished in sixth place. Currently, they are in seventh position, just one point behind third place and only two points away from second. At the moment, the 96ers are not in their best form—they managed to defeat one of the league's main underdogs, Ulm (3-2), but even that victory was hard-fought. Following this, the Hannover side lost to Greuther Fürth (0-1) and drew with Hertha Berlin (0-0).
Suspensions and Injuries
The hosts have no squad issues ahead of the match.
Interesting Betting Trends
- The team has secured only one win in their last seven matches.
- There have been red cards in two of the club's last four matches.
Projected lineup: Zieler - Vdovik, Halstenberg, Neid, Muroya - Udenne, Kunze, Leopold, Lee - Tresoldi, Nielsen
Waldhof Mannheim
GermanyCurrent Form
Mannheim is positioned one tier below Hannover, competing in Germany's Third League. Even there, the team struggles, sitting at just 15th place. Hannover's reserve team also plays in this league and trails Mannheim by only three points. The nominal visitors' last victory was against Hannover's second team (2-1). Since then, they have suffered three consecutive defeats—against Stuttgart's reserves (0-2), Energie (0-1), and Dynamo Dresden (1-2). In their final match of 2024, Mannheim drew with Arminia Bielefeld (1-1).
Suspensions and Injuries
The visitors have no squad issues ahead of the friendly match.
Interesting Betting Trends
- The team has not won in four consecutive matches
- The visitors have lost three of their last four games
Projected lineup: Bartels - Yigit, Matriciani, Siegert, Klünter - Arase - Tallhammer, Sitan - Benatelli - Shipnoski, Abifade.
Tip and bets
Hannover significantly outclasses their opponent and is vying for promotion to the Bundesliga. The hosts are not in their best form at the moment, so a friendly match against a clear underdog is an excellent opportunity to regain their confidence. The visitors are languishing in the lower half of the Third League table and consistently lose even at this level. We believe that the Hannover club will secure an easy victory.
Our prediction is an Asian handicap (-1) on Hannover at 1.64
Bet on Total Goals
Hannover boasts a solid lineup and has set ambitious goals for themselves. In a match against a lower-league opponent, the team is likely to showcase their attacking prowess, leaving the visitors to respond with their own offensive plays. This style of play is expected to result in a high-scoring game.
Our prediction is a total of over three goals at 1.90
Bet on Corners
Hannover is expected to spend a significant amount of time on the attack at home, but Mannheim is quite capable of countering, which should lead to a high number of corners.
Our prediction is a total of over 10.5 corners at 1.75
