Game week two of the 2. Bundesliga season and the squads have done their adjustments after the first game. Here's the best Nürnberg - Hannover 96 preview:
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Nürnberg form and stats
Last season, Nürnberg's league statistics were 10 wins, 9 draws and 15 losses, resulting in 14th place in the 2. Bundesliga. From these 34 matches they scored {32 goals} and conceded 49. Playing as the home side in the previous season Nürnberg generated 7-4-6 (win-draw-lost) with {18 goals} and 17 conceded.
Nürnberg are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-2 away versus Hansa Rostock. Midfielder Hungbo was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.62 (out of ten) in that game. Hungbo dribled past the opponent 7 of 7 times.
Before that match, a win away at Paderborn.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Nürnberg have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 11 games) they have won 4 times, drawn 4 and lost 3.
Hannover 96 form and stats
Let's have a look at how Hannover 96 performed last season in the 2. Bundesliga: They landed a 10th position in the league table after playing out 12 victories, 8 draws and 14 defeats. In total they scored 50 and conceded {55 goals} in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 4 - drew 5 and lost 8 with 23/29 goals scored/conceded.
Hannover 96's last game was the home draw against Elversberg (2-2). An inspired comeback made the scores level in Hannover's duel with Elversberg. It looked bad at 0-2 but the team were not done and fought back to 2-2 after Tresoldi found the equalizer. Goalkeeper Zieler made a total of seven saves, making him a hero against Elversberg. Heavily contributing to the draw after 90 minutes. Tresoldi, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 8.05. Tresoldi scored one goal and hit one key pass.
Preceding that, the 1-5 home loss versus Holstein Kiel.Hannover 96 are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 3 wins, 6 draws and 4 defeats. From a total of 13 matches.
Head 2 Head
Previous ten meetings involving these sides: Nürnberg won four, Hannover 96 were winners in four and we saw two draws. six games with over 2,5 goals, four matches with under 2,5 goals. The matches between these sides have sometimes been rough and physical, having seen 5 sending-offs from the last ten duels.
