Hannover vs Sandhausen tips and predictions

Hannover to build on momentum

It's tenth placed Hannover versus 18th placed Sandhausen in this 2. Bundesliga clash as the hosts look to add distance to the 10 points between the sides.

On paper at least, the home side should prevail.

Hannover will like what they see. Adversity has slowly been mounting up for this group of away players over their last 8 fixtures. They've been beaten 6 times in that period. It looks like another loss for them here.

This home side is in a purple patch. Hannover scored at least once in 14 of their recent 15 home matches and that approach has been consolidated at the back where they have conceded no more than once in all of their last 3 games. They'll likely see this as an opportunity to keep a clean sheet.

Sandhausen have actually conceded two or more goals in 13 of their last 19 matches. Their critics might be more concerned about their recent form at the other end of the pitch though. The visitors haven't been able to rely on their forwards in their latest engagements. They've been goalless in 6 of their last 8 matches.

The sportsbooks have forecasted both sides to get in on the act despite the favouritism for Hannover. It's not a strong view but the odds-against for the BTTS No looks a bit more tempting for this encounter. And for fans of the goal line, it's two goals or more standing out in this one considering the price that's available there.
