Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Heinz-von-Heiden-Arena will host Sunday’s football game between Hannover and Hansa Rostock. Die Roten do not seem to be at their sharpest, with the team eyeing their first league win since November 8, 2022, but they are surely capable of matching Hansa on home soil. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but Sebastian Kerk could sneak into the starting XI.
Patrick Glockner’s troops, on the other hand, are on a three-game losing run, and given their difficulties in front of goal, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from the match. To make things even worse for the visiting team, important defender Damian Rossbach is banned for the game, while all Rick Van Drongelen, Nico Neidhart, Frederic Ananou, and Pascal Breier remain in the recovery room. In the first half of the season Hannover defeated Hansa Rostock thanks to Maximilian Beier’s goal.
