Hannover 96 vs Borussia M'gladbach Betting Tips and Predictions

Hannover 96 picked up only their fourth point in 2016 (W1 D1 L10) in their hard fought 2-2 away draw to Hertha BSC last Friday. This was Hannover 96’s first match under new coach Daniel Stendel, the former under 19 team coach, after the dismissal of Thomas Schaaf the weekend before. Hannover may be all but set for relegation, and it is almost certainly too late for the new manager to work any miracles, but Hannover looked revitalised and dangerous last Friday against Hertha, despite their impending doom, and they aren’t going down without a fight.

Borussia M’gladbach will be disappointing with their 1-0 away defeat at mid-table FC Ingolstadt last weekend. M’gladbach are in unbelievable home form at BORUSSIA-PARK, but are in awful away form having lost each of their last three games on the road and they are without a win away from home since October. They slipped down to fifth in the Bundesliga last weekend and now stand three points behind fourth place Bayer Levekusen. That said, a trip to struggling Hannover 96 could prove the perfect tonic for Andre Schubert’s side, who will be aiming to cut this three point gap. Former Hannover 96 captain Lars Stindl, now Borussia M’gladbach’s star midfielder and second top scorer with 14 goals from 36 appearances this season, can expect a warm return for his five seasons of service to Hannover as he makes his first return back to the city since leaving the club last summer.

Borussia M’gladbach may have a poor away record, taking only two points from their last eight away games (D2 L6), but Hannover 96’s home record is worse. Hannover have lost the last seven home games and will join the record books alongside Tasmania Berlin and Hansa Rostock for eight consecutive home defeats if they lose to Gladbach on Friday night. Borussia M’gladbach will be looking to remedy their poor away form against a bottom of the table club and re-ignite their top four push. Borussia M’gladbach matches are more often than not exciting affair, with 80% of their matches having over 2.5 goals and an average total of 4 goals per match (scored + conceded). Combine this with a revitalised Hannover 96, looking to go down swinging in front of their homecrowd for whatever they have left of their top flight campaign, and we should expect to see both teams to score in this match and over 2.5 goals. Borussia M’gladbach to win 2-1 at 15/2 seems top value for a correct score bet.
