Hannover 96 form and stats

Hannover was sent out of DFB Pokal in the 1st round last season.

Playing away, Hannover 96 have won 7 games, drawn 1 and suffered 9 defeats in the 2. Bundesliga this season. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Hannover's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Hannover play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 3-2 victory visiting Würzburger Kickers. A home win before that, celebrating 2-0 vs Bochum.

Hannover are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 27 times in 17 away games so far. Hannover 96's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 28 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Würzburger - Hannover 96 2-3. Head-to-head totals (for the last three meetings): Würzburger won zero games, one match ended with a draw and Hannover 96 has two wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: two / one
