Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Hannover will be aiming to kick off the new 2. Bundesliga campaign in great manner when they take on Elversberg in Saturday’s matinee. Die Roten were producing excellent displays in preseason, with the team rolling over Villarreal 3-0 in their last warm-up game and, as a result, the bookies see them as favourites to win the opener. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Havard Nielsen, who scored eight goals last term.
The newcomers, on the other hand, have big ambitions for the 2023/2024 2. Bundesliga campaign, but given Hannover’s splendid performances in pre-season friendlies, we do not believe that Horst Steffen’s troops are going to grab something from the match. When the two teams met in the DFB Pokal back in 2010 Elversberg eliminated Hannover on penalties, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge. Summer signing Dominik Martinovic is likely to make his Elversberg debut against Hannover.
