Hannover 96 form and stats
6 victories, 3 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what Hannover 96 have to build on here at HDI-Arena in the 2. Bundesliga. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.
Hannover travelled for their previous game, a trip to Erzgebirge Aue that ended 1-1. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 2-2 versus Greuther Furth.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Hannover matches with similar probabilities have ended with three wins, two draws and one defeat (from six games).
A decent goal production from Hannover in their home games so far, with 20 goals from 11 league matches. Hannover are not conceding a lot of goals here at HDI-Arena in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 9 from 11 matches.
Würzburger Kickers form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Würzburger Kickers, who have the most conceded goals (51) in 2. Bundesliga, so far with only 3 points returning home. The records show 1-0-11 (win-draw-lose). Bitter travels for Würzburger as they have lost five games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Osnabruck match.
The manager B. Trares was unhappy after their last game, a 2. Bundesliga match played at their home ground flyeralarm-Arena. Würzburger suffered a 1-2 loss to Heidenheim (placed 6th). Preceding that game, the 0-3 loss visiting Bochum's place.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Würzburger Kickers playing away, we found two games. Results were zero away wins, zero draws and two home wins.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Würzburger as they have only managed to score 9 times from 12 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. The Würzburger Kickers manager B. Trares has some worries about the defense as 27 goals have been conceded in these travels.
