Hannover 96 II form and stats

Hannover 96 II have played three Regionalliga: Nord home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 0 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. When Hannover 96 II hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Atlas Delmenhorst, Hannover 96 II and Borussia Hildesheim), they have won 1 of 2 matches! It's been an uphill battle for Hannover in their home games for quite some time now, as four matches in a row are lost here. Not since the Oberneuland game have they avoided the disappointment of defeat.

The Hannover 96 II regulars got no joy from their last match, also played here at 96 Das Stadion: A 1-2 defeat against VfB Lübeck (placed 8th). The defeat against VfB Lübeck was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored seven minutes into stoppage time (by Brackelmann).

Preceding that game was the away draw at Teutonia Hamburg that finished 4-4.

This is expected to be a close game, with Hannover 96 II 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 II as a small favourite), we find eight games. Hannover 96 II has won three of these, drawn zero and lost five.

Hannover are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 3 games. Hannover 96 II are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (7 from 3 played).

VfB Lübeck form and stats

VfB Lübeck are still undefeated on their travels in the Regionalliga: Nord. They have only played two games though, winning one and drawing the other.

Two away matches in a row for VfB Lübeck, whose manager Pfeiffer could celebrate last time after the win against Hannover 96 II.

A 1-2 loss hosting VfB Oldenburg before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with VfB Lübeck playing away and similar expectations, we found seven relevant matches. Results were three Lübeck wins, zero draws and four defeats.

As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, VfB Lübeck has managed 3 goals and let in 2 from 2 matches.
