Stuttgart vs Hannover Prediction & Betting tips
Finally, the Friday evening has a sense again! The Bundesliga is back – although only the second for now. With teams like VfB Stuttgart, Nuremberg, Hannover or HSV, the German lower house is once again occupying a prominent position this year, and the hitting and stinging around the two direct promotion places starts from the first matchday, because with the duel between the two descendants VfB Stuttgart and Hannover will open the 46th season in the 2nd Bundesliga with fireworks. In March, the two opponents met in the Bundesliga and exactly where both want to go back.
VfB Stuttgart are the top favorites for the championship and thus the promotion. The Lower Saxony, however, are traded by some bookmakers in third place and by others in fourth place. Much more exciting could the new season in the 2nd Bundesliga hardly begin. We are happy, but are still careful in the game between VfB Stuttgart and Hannover with a forecast for a tip on the winner. In the last season, HSV defeated as a big favorite on the rise at home Holstein Kiel with 0: 3 – and that probably no one would have thought. At that time on the coaching bank of Kiel: The current Stuttgart coach Tim Walter.
VfB Stuttgart :
On the one hand, the general meeting in mid-July, which took place in the domestic Mercedes-Benz Arena and had to be canceled due to technical problems, on the other hand Wolfgang Dietrich, who was escorted out of the stadium because of the angry fans of bodyguards and resigned one day later from the post of president: The last days just before the season opener of VfB Stuttgart were chaotic and turbulent. But one is above all: New coach Tim Walter, the all “shit does not care” and wants to deliver on Friday with his team a “great game”. The preparation under the coach, who finished sixth last year with Holstein Kiel, was promising.
Only last weekend VfB Stuttgart defeated the Bundesliga club Sport-Club Freiburg 4: 2 in a test. The Swiss first division side FC Basel and FC Zurich were also beaten by VfB Stuttgart in preparation. Overall, the Swabians scored in a total of seven friendly matches 22 goals and lost only the two games against the Swiss champions Young Boys Bern and FC Winterthur.
With a total market value of more than 86 million euros, VfB Stuttgart has by far the most expensive squad in the 2nd Bundesliga. Behind it follows opponents Hannover with almost 60 million euros. Even the top earner in the league is under the Swabians, is called Mario Gomez and collects an estimated 4.5 million euros a year. Walter was a bit covered, as it is the striker, who reached an advanced age at age 34. One thing is for sure: after the terrible injury of striker and new signing Sasa Kalajdzic, Gomez will be an issue in every match.
When it comes to personal details, VfB Stuttgart has done a lot in the summer and it could also do something. The most prominent transfer was certainly that of Benjamin Pavard, who moved to Säbener Straße for FC Bayern for 35 million euros. But the departures of, inter alia, Ozan Kabak, who moved to Schalke for 15 million euros or the transfer-free transfer of former captain Christian Gentner to Union Berlin are not forgotten. Question marks are still behind defender Timo Baumgartl and striker Anastasios Donis, who would like to leave the club.
On the other hand strengthened with Philipp Klement, Mateo Klimowicz, Maxime Awoudja, Hamadi Al Ghaddioui or Atakan Karazor, who followed his coach from Kiel, some interesting names the club. The loan of goalkeeper Gregor Kobel from Hoffenheim should not go unmentioned, especially since the 21-year-old Swiss will be the new number 1 in the Swabian box. Overall, in the game between VfB Stuttgart and Hannover is a tip on the home win, which brings good odds, close and still worth a look at alternatives.
Hannover:
Even in the HR environment of Hannover 96, it seethed at last tremendous and it still does. The reason: Gerhard Zuber. The sporting director has been on the shooting list of 96-boss Martin Kind for some time now. In the preparation Zuber was not allowed into the training camp, his access to the main computer was blocked and the access rights of his key card were massively restricted. On Friday he is not allowed to play in the away game of his Hanoverians, although he has been present in every competitive match over the two years he is in office and even has the contractual obligation to attend team meetings, etc. The team itself, however, does not seem to reach this dispute.
The preparation with seven wins in ten games was good, but it should not go unmentioned that Hannover tested mainly against amateur clubs such as Mellendorf, Bemerode, Wunstorf or Hannoversche SC.
The biggest endurance test was certainly against FK Rostov from the Russian Premier League, which Hannover beat 2-1. In addition, there were also bankruptcies against the TSV Hartberg from Austria and most recently Groningen from the Netherlands. A total of 28 goals scored the red roses in the ten games of preparation. New coach Mirko Slomka, who coached Hannover from 2010-2013, was dissatisfied with one thing in preparation: the fact that not all players were available to him from the outset (mainly because of injuries).
But all but Cedric Teuchert and Timo Hübers are fit for the season opener at VfB Stuttgart. With Ihlas Bebou, who moved to Schalke for 8.5 million euros, Niclas Füllkrug (for 6.5 million euros to Bremen) and Sarenren (for 1.70 million euros to Augsburg) Hannover has lost a lot of speed and offensive power. On the other hand, Hannover has strengthened well with Marvin Ducksch (Dusseldorf), Marcel Franke (Norwich City), Sebastian Young (Wolfsburg) and the not yet fully recovered Teuchert (Schalke). In addition, Ron-Robert Zieler, who already looked after the box of the Lower Saxony from 2010 to 2016, returned from the upcoming opponent VfB Stuttgart and is already set as the new number one. With the second-highest squad in the lower house, the red-roses are aiming for a direct resurgence, but like to push the role of favorites to the Swabians. In the game of Hannover VfB Stuttgart, the odds for a tip on away win in the last few days have gone up again significantly.
