Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Hannover will be aiming to make amends for a 2-0 loss to Arminia Bielefeld when they take on Hamburger SV in the 2. Bundesliga derby. Die Roten suffered elimination in the DFB Pokal at the weekend, meaning they will be fully focused on the German second tier in the remainder of the season. Head coach Stefan Leitl has a luxury to field the best possible side against die Rothosen.
HSV, on the other hand, rolled over Meppen 7-1 in their German Cup opener, but beating Hannover at Heinz-von-Heiden-Arena is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. The likes of Bakery Jatta, Jean-Luc Dompe, Daniel Elfadli, and Valon Zumberi are sidelined with injuries, while midfielder Matheo Raab misses out through illness. In their last encounter in the German second tier Hannover defeated Hamburg 4-3.
