Dortmund vs Hannover Prediction & Betting tips
At an unusual kick-off time in the Bundesliga – on Sunday at 13:30 clock – in the Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund, the duel of BVB against the last weak Hanoverians kicked off.
The Dortmund have to win again after the bitter end in the Europa League in the league to manifest the Champions League places.
Hannover has lost its last three games and travels to Westfalenland with a thin staff.
Dortmund:
After the meager 0: 0 in the second knockout round of the Europa League in Salzburg, one can not shake the impression that the BVB has placed little value on this competition and now wants to put the focus fully on the Bundesliga. A disastrous performance should now follow a victory in the Bundesliga, which would underpin the Champions League ambitions.
With Hannover, BVB still has a bill: In the first round you went in the HDI-Arena with 2: 4 under. In the Signal Iduna Park, Borussia won six of the past seven direct duels against Hannover. From the last six Bundesliga games BVB took four wins and two draws. In Salzburg Marco Reus and Mario Götze were replaced at halftime. Coach Peter Stöger justified the change of Reus as a precautionary measure due to a slight injury. Götze was dismissed because of his performance.
Definitely not going to be Shinji Kagawa, Sebastian Rode and Andriy Yarmolenko. The use of Marco Reus is expected.
Hanover:
The current situation for newcomers is a difficult one: Ultragruppierungen split the club by protesting against the project of club president Martin child, who wants to overturn the 50 + 1 rule. Coach and team do not seem to let the protests of the fans go cold – the last three Bundesliga games were all lost (1: 3 against Augsburg, 0: 1 in Frankfurt and 0: 1 against Gladbach). Six of the last eight direct duels against Dortmund ended the Lower Saxony as a loser.
Although the team of coach Andre Breitenreiter has fond memories of the game against Dortmund in the first half of the season, they must now refrain from playing important players in the second leg. Match winner in the first leg was the ex-Dusseldorf Ihlas Bebou with two goals – he is missing, because of the fifth yellow card, locked. In addition, Hannover must continue to do without Edgar Prib. Behind the use of Martin Harnik (flu disease) is currently still a question mark. His start-up comeback will probably give Jonathas after a long break in the Brazilian summer shopping, which could achieve the 1-0 penalty in the first leg against BVB.
