Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Osnabrück in 12th and Hannover 96 in 9th place.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

When playing at home in the 2. Bundesliga, Osnabrück have managed 5 wins, 3 draws and suffered 5 defeats from 13 games.
