Monday evening, from 19:30 pm, Hanover 96 receives the visit of Darmstadt, in the 14th round of the second German league – Zweite Bundesliga. The hosts start favorites in front of an opponent who has made the difficult life of the borders, in the current season.
At HDI Arena, fans are hoping that Hanover will end the nightmare of recent months. After four consecutive stages without victory (3 draws), Hannover came in 16th (golaveraj 14-22) and the former first-division has visible offensive problems. All this time, Darmstadt is 13th (goal 14-18), at one point away from the rival on Monday.
Hannover comes after a drastic failure on Heidenheim’s field, score 0-4, after the draws with Osnabruck (0-0), Karlsruher (3-3) and Sandhausen (1-1). Instead, Darmstadt easily scored goals from Greuther Furth (1-3) and Regensburg (2-2), a sign that Monday’s game has good show potential. The hosts are forced to play for the victory, while the guests will have the opportunity to take advantage, on the counterattack, of the defensive uncertainty of the white-greens.
Darmstadt won 2-1 twice and one of the matches ended 2-2, so the guests are confident of a good result. More efficient on the move than on home soil, the host team will feel the pressure of the stands, and the statistics show that the favorites from Monday night did not win a match at home, this season!
PREDICTION: Hannover to win @ 1,94
