Prediction: 1-1
Darmstadt
Hannover welcome Darmstadt to their HDI-Arena on day 22 of the current 2. Bundesliga campaign. Hannover have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team beating Hansa Rostock, sharing the spoils with Dynamo Dresden, while losing to Heidenheim. Die Roten aim to escape the danger zone, but they will have a mountain to climb in the clash with the league leaders. Sei Muroya is sidelined with injury, but he should be the only absentee in the home team.
The Lilywhites, on the other hand, aim to recover from an embarrassing 5-0 loss to HSV, but beating Hannover on the road is easier said than done. A close encounter is on the cards at HDI-Arena, and we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. Defender Lasse Sobiech misses out with injury, but he should be the only absentee in the away team.
