Hannover 96 form and stats
Perfect 2. Bundesliga season at home so far for Hannover 96, who have the the best goal difference (+8) at home in 2. Bundesliga, 3 wins from 3 appearances.
Hannover are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-4 away versus Greuther Fürth. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Fortuna Dusseldorf in a game that was won 3-0.
Michael Esser had a busy but productive day in the Greuther Fürth match. Despite making nine saves the loss could not be prevented.
Hannover are showing their attacking force in their league home games this season, scoring more than 2,5 goals per game on average (9 goals in 3 games). As for guarding their own goal, Hannover have only let in 1 goal at home.
Erzgebirge Aue form and stats
Things could have gone better for Erzgebirge Aue in their 2. Bundesliga away matches, but 3 points from 3 games is all right. Erzgebirge Aue seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
Erzgebirge delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Holstein Kiel (placed 3rd) in their previous match; a 2. Bundesliga game. A 0-2 defeat away at Bochum before that.
Erzgebirge have scored 3 goals on their travels this season, from 3 away games in the league. Erzgebirge Aue's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 5 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last five meetings between these two teams are: two wins for Hannover, two draws and one win for Erzgebirge Aue. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: one game.Top Goalscorers
