Hannover 96 host St. Pauli for another entertaining 2. Bundesliga fixture here at HDI-Arena.
- Hannover 96 have the the worst goal difference (-8) in 2. Bundesliga
- St. Pauli have yet to win a game away.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Hannover 96 form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Hannover 96's two home games in the 2. Bundesliga so far this season, having collected 3 points here at HDI-Arena.
The fans are hoping that Hannover will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-4 away loss in the 2. Bundesliga game against Darmstadt 98 (placed 8th). Julian Börner was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.01 out of 10. The defender Börner won 12 of 17 duels. As you see from the result above, Hannover suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one. Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Florent Muslija for missing a penalty kick versus Darmstadt 98 in the 66th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.
Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Heidenheim.This is expected to be a close game, with Hannover perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Hannover 96 as a small favourite), we find eight games. Hannover 96 has won two of these, drawn two and lost four.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Hannover 96 at home in the league. 1 on target and 3 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
St. Pauli form and stats
Still no away game victory in the 2. Bundesliga for St. Pauli with 1 draw and 1 loss from their first 2 attempts.

Prior to that match, the St. Pauli manager T. Schultz faced defeat when travelling to Paderborn and losing 1-3.As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite.
