Our prediction for this match: Schalke 2 - 2 Hannover
Schalke vs Hannover Preview
Schalke 04 and Hannover 96 face off in what could be a crucial clash in the race for Bundesliga promotion. Given the attacking potential of both sides, we predict a 2-2 draw. Schalke head into the match after a narrow 1-0 win over Arminia Bielefeld, and despite a lengthy injury list they still look dangerous in attack with veteran striker Edin Džeko leading the line. Die Knappen have been particularly strong at home, averaging 2.50 goals scored per game, while their matches at the Veltins-Arena produce 4.25 total goals on average. Schalke also hold a 50% home win rate and generate an impressive 2.16 expected goals in front of their fans.
Hannover, meanwhile, arrive after a 2-1 defeat to SpVgg Greuther Fürth, but they remain one of the most in-form teams in the league. Die Roten have won 70% of their matches overall, including 75% of their away games, scoring 1.75 goals per game on the road. Defender Boris Tomiak is their only confirmed absentee.
Historically, Schalke have had the upper hand in this fixture with 17 wins from 31 meetings, though Hannover’s current form suggests this could be a very competitive encounter. As both sides have 60% BTTS rate, we are tempted to place our bets on Both Teams to Score, with additional value on Over 2.5 and Over 3.5 goals.
