Hannover 96 form and stats
The home supporters can't complain about results here at HDI-Arena as Hannover 96, who have the fewest conceded goals (7) at home in 2. Bundesliga, have scored 18 goals to get 19 points from 9 games. The overall stats in the 2. Bundesliga are 6-1-2 (wins-draws-losses).
Hannover enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Eintracht Braunschweig's place. The match ended 2-1 with Valmir Sulejmani and Marvin Ducksch scoring. Before that, Hannover 96 had a home game versus Osnabruck which ended with a victory 1-0.
The Hannover manager K. Kocak has got the team scoring with 18 from 9 home games in the league. Hannover are not conceding a lot of goals here at HDI-Arena in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 7 from 9 matches.
Paderborn form and stats
Paderborn have only collected 9 points from their away games in the 2. Bundesliga, after 2-3-5 (10 played).
Paderborn lost away at Borussia Dortmund (after extra-time) (2-3) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. It was a 2. Bundesliga defeat before that one as the away game against Hamburger SV wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.
It's a bit worrying for Paderborn that their goalkeeper Leopold Zingerle made six saves in the Borussia Dortmund (after extra-time) game last time out, but still couldn't prevent the loss.
The attacking power of Paderborn when travelling is not overwhelming with 9 goals scored from 10 league matches away. As opposed to that, Paderborn have seen the ball go into their own net 12 times on the road. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
