Hertha Berlin vs Hannover tips and predictions

Hannover presenting threat

With only 1 point separating them it's seventh placed Hertha Berlin versus sixth placed Hannover.

This could well be one of those encounters where Hannover just do enough to get the job done and they're sure to be asked some questions by this Hertha Berlin squad.

The hosts will be looking to put some of their underpowered outings behind them. Hertha Berlin's performances when under the cosh have raised a few eyebrows. They conceded two or more goals in 7 of their last 8 home matches. If there are any selection issues here they could be in trouble.

Hannover have been victorious in 2 of their last 5 trips away. These impressive displays have been characterised by their quality in front of goal. They've scored three or more goals in 6 of their last 19 away fixtures and if there is any overconfidence in the hosts' ranks, the visitors will be confident of success here. They have been solid at the back when on the road. Conceding an average of 0.5 goals across their latest 4 away campaigns has given them decent foundations to work with. If the away side puts some decent passages together they can get the win.

It's not a confident forecast though and they may end up in deadlock. The sportsbooks' prices indicate that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match as they could be well matched. However, the odds-against for the BTTS No looks reasonable.

Die Alte Dame have only won 3 of the last 13 matches between these two teams.
