The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Hannover 96 are in the 11th position while the guesting Dynamo Dresden worry at 18th.
It's no vacation for neither Hannover nor Dynamo Dresden as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Hannover 96 form and stats
When playing at home in the 2. Bundesliga, Hannover 96 have managed 2 wins, 8 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 13 games.
No payout for Hannover in their previous match, an away game at Sandhausen that ended in defeat 1-3. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Karlsruher SC.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Hannover as they have a new game in only four days, a 2. Bundesliga match thankfully also at home. Heidenheim are visiting.
Hannover are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 16 goals in 13 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 20 goals have been conceded.
Dynamo Dresden form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Dynamo Dresden so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 1-4-7 (win-draw-lose).
Dresden's previous game was their home loss versus Stuttgart (0-2). That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Erzgebirge Aue.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Dynamo Dresden manager M. Kauczinski as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Wehen Wiesbaden.
The visitors have scored 9 goals from 12 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Dresden have conceded 23 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
