Hannover vs Elversberg Prediction: Both sides expected to score

Hannover and Elversberg will lock horns at the Heinz von Heiden-Arena on Saturday to continue their fight for promotion. Both sides can still mathematically get a promotion ticket or even win the championship, but this game will be a stepping stone for either side that wish to make this move. Below, I have the team news, possible starting 11, some interesting facts, expert betting tips, and odds.

Hannover

Hannover suffered a 1-0 loss to Karlsruher in their last game, extending their winless run to three games. Prior to this winless run, they had gone ten games without a loss. They remain winless in their last nine games at home and have failed to score in their last two. Hannover sit 8th on the table with 43 points in 28 games, scoring 34 goals and conceding 27. However, Marcel Halstenberg will sit out of this game due to illness.

Elversberg

Elversberg secured a 6-0 win over Regensburg in their last game to bounce back to winning ways after three straight games without a win. They remain unbeaten in eight of their last nine games and their last four on the road. Elversberg sit 6th on the table with 44 points in 28 games, scoring 51 goals and conceding 32. They are still much in contention for promotion if they can improve their games and hope to have favourable results in other fixtures. They are eight points behind top-place Hamburger and just two points behind third-placed Magdeburg in the playoff spot. However, Frederik Jakel (knee), Patryk Dragon (knee) and Luca Schnellbacher (thigh) are ruled out of this game due to injuries.

Possible Starting 11

Hannover — Ron-Robert Zieler, Sei Muroya, Boris Tomiak, Josh Knight, Jannik Dehm, Enzo Leopold, Fabian Kunze, Jannik Rochelt, Brooklyn Ezeh, Jessic Ngankam, Nicolo Tresoldi.
