Hannover vs Sandhausen Predictions
male Mirko Slomka is available in three matches unbeaten in the second division at the moment and have collected five points from a possible nine. The squad has recorded back to back draws in their last two games though and is now level on points with Sandhausen on the stairs.
On the other hand, the visitors have been back and forth between draw and a defeat in their last six games. To make things, the far side also sports a dismal three-game winning streak on the road today.
The visitors almost did not pose a threat in the final third as well, and has failed to bag a consolation goal at least in all three of their previous events. Although Hannover without a win at home so far, it should be said that four of the five opponents for the hosts here have side who are currently staying at the top of the stairs.
Given the poor form which Sandhausen is located in Hannover is the favorite to edge past the away side in this one.
In addition, the front line of Hannover has failed to deliver, even with home advantage in hand, and only scored three of their last five games here. As mentioned above, Sandhausen has hardly faring better and without a goal to their name in their last three games on the trot.
With their previous head to head meeting here also ended in stalemate, it goes without saying that the goal will be hard to come by in this one.
