Football Results

Both teams are in the middle of the table and they can play relaxed for now because they are seven points away from the relegation zone, and they are far away from the positions that leads to playoffs, while it can hardly happen they get eliminated. However, it would be nice to celebrate in this match in which Hannover and Augsburg are entering with the same number of points but also with some weaker results lately, so Hannover has not won the previous three duels and Augsburg has not celebrated in the previous four games. In the first part of the season it was 2-1 for Hannover.

Hannover 96

Hanover was weaker in the second part of the season, than in the first and that fall could have been expected because they had much better results than objective value. They are having a hard time coming to the victories on their field, and in the second part of the championship they have made only two on their home field, against equal rivals, Mainz and Freiburg. Between these two triumphs they had three rounds without a win, and after they defeated Freiburg, there was a new series of three games without a celebration, which is still on going, with the proviso that they have lost the previous two games, both with 1-0.

Everything started with a draw in Cairo when they scored one goal, while they have not scored any against Borussia M'gladbach and Eintracht. In both duels were a weaker rival, especially in Frankfurt, where they were saved by goalkeeper Tschauner. Their coach Breitenreiter has changed the team in these two matches, and they will now because S.Sane returns after the suspension, while we also expect Claus and Bebou in the team.

Probable lineups Hannover 96: Tschauner – Anton, S.Sane, Felipe – Korb, Ostrzolek – Fossum, Schwegler – Klaus, Bebou – Fullkrug

FC Augsburg

Augsburg, as well as their host, is playing weaker in the second part of the season and it is felt on their results, so a negative series of this team is now four games without a win. At the beginning of February, they celebrated the last time on their field against Eintracht, and then the only good thing they made, was a draw in Dortmund. They have only scored a goal in that match for 1-1, while they have not shaken their opponents’ net in three defeats. They have the justification in the strength of their rivals for that defeat in Leipzig, however, they should not have lost on their field from Stuttgart, and in the last round from Hoffenheim.

It was 2-0 for the guests, and coach Baum faced a number of problems with absences due to injuries, and suspension of Caiuby. This is certainly one of the reasons they played very poorly and deservedly lost. A new problem is the injury of defender Danso, who will not play, so Kacar will probably be on the center-back position. Caiuby returns to midfield and that means Jakob moves to the bench.

Probable lineups FC Augsburg: Hitz – Schmid, Kacar, Hinteregger, Max – D.Baier, Khedira – Heller, Koo, Caiuby – Gregoritsch

Verdict:

Rivals are of equal strength and in a similar shape, so the match could be uncertain and equal. A draw is somehow even the most realistic, but we will give advantage to Hannover, because of the home field and tradition.
