Braunschweig currently sits 12th with 10 points, while Hannover 96 is 7th with 17 points. In their only encounter over the past year, the match ended in a 1-1 draw, indicating that the two teams are fairly evenly matched with no clear psychological advantage.
Braunschweig’s recent form has been inconsistent, with 3 wins, 1 draw, and 6 losses in their last 10 matches, reflecting a low win rate. However, in their last two away games, they secured consecutive victories against Düsseldorf and Magdeburg, showing signs of a rebound. At home, though, their performance is less convincing, with just 1 win, 2 draws, and 2 losses in their last 5 matches, conceding a significant number of goals. Squad-wise, two key players are unavailable due to injuries: one with a muscle tear and another with a cruciate ligament injury, weakening the team’s defensive line.
Hannover 96, on the other hand, has been more consistent, achieving 5 wins, 2 draws, and 3 losses in their last 10 games, with higher win and unbeaten rates than Braunschweig. Despite a recent 0-3 home defeat to Schalke, Hannover had previously defeated Halle, Bielefeld, and Hamburg, showing strong attacking firepower. Though up to four players are sidelined due to injuries, the core squad remains largely intact.
Considering recent form and squad situations, Braunschweig shows some signs of resurgence but suffers from home defensive issues and incomplete squad depth. Hannover 96 demonstrates superior strength and form, with a more threatening attack and minimal psychological pressure from past encounters. Therefore, Hannover 96 is recommended to secure an away victory.
Predicted Score: Braunschweig 1-2 Hannover 96 or 0-2 Hannover 96
Recommendation: Loss for Braunschweig
