Hannover 96 Mainz 05 betting prediction

The home team is currently in the 11^th position of the league, with 23 points won, after 6 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Hertha BSC, by (3‑1). In the last match, they tied in a home match against Bayer Leverkusen, by (4‑4). This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 2 draws and 8 losses in away matches; against 9 wins, 5 draws and 1 loss at their stadium. In their last match, for the Club Friendlies, they got a home win against Paderborn by (4‑1). In the last 8 home league matches Hannover 96 has a record of 4 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, so they have won 15 points out of 24 possible.

In this competition, they haven’t lost any of the last 4 home matches. The most recurrent result at half‑time in their home league matches was the 0‑0 (4 out of 8 matches). They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their home matches for this competition there is a tendency for few goals, since 5 of the last 8 matches have ended with Under 2,5 goals. In 17 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 9 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Hannover has been dropping production in the Bundesliga, has only 1 win in the last eight rounds and needs to seek recovery to regain a safe margin of points to the relegation zone. The team is characterized by a rather inefficient attack that has scored 24 goals and is the ninth worst of the competition, but the big problem has been the defense that has suffered 26 goals and is the fifth most leaked, something that needs to be corrected urgently for the rest of the competition. Playing at home, such as Saturday's match, Hannover has lost only 1 of its last 9 matches, has not scored goals in only 1 of the games played at home and it is worth mentioning that it conceded goals in 4 of its last 5 home games. For the clash against Mainz 05, coach Andre Brentenreiter has no problems in the main team and should repeat the last round's line up.

Confirmed Lineup: Michael Esser, Julian Korb, Matthias Ostrzolek, Waldemar Anton, Salif Sané, Oliver Sorg, Pirmin Schwegler, Marvin Bakalorz, Felix Klaus, Ihlas Bebou, Niclas Füllkrug.
Coach: C. Dabrowski.
