Hannover 96 take on the visitors Borussia Dortmund at the HDI-Arena in the 2nd tour of the Bundesliga. The match will be played in the eponymous city Hanover on Friday, August 31st.
Hannover 96 often score a lot of goals in their matches, especially in front of their home crowd. However, Die Roten often concede a lot of goals too. For example, in their seventeen home fixtures last season the team scored 28 goals and allowed 25 goals. There were 3.11 goals scored in every home match Hannover 96 had on the average. In the first tour of the new season in the Bundesliga they drew against Werder Bremen with a 1-1 score. Before that fixture they had beaten Karlsruher with a 6-0 score and Athletic Bilbao with a 2-0 score. It is likely that Hannover 96 will have a lot of goal attempts in the upcoming match against Borussia Dortmund because the away side does not play well in the defense.

Talking about Die Borussen they have signed Axel Witsel this summer. Even though it had been expected that he would help the defensive line of the team he has been showcasing his offensive skills lately. The Belgian player scored two goals in the two matches he played for Die Schwarzgelben. It`s worth noting that Borussia Dortmund often scores and concedes a lot of goals every match as well as Hannover 96. In the first tour fixture against Leipzig they beat their opponents with a 4-1 score (3-1 after the first half). Before that match they had beaten Greuther Furth with a 2-1 score and Lazio with a 1-0 score. Hannover 96 will not be a comfortable opponent for Borussia Dortmund but Der BVB will probably score at least once.
Borussia Dortmund are the favourites in the lead-up to the upcoming fixture on paper but Hannover 96 often show good performances in front of their home crowd. It is likely that neither of the teams will lock up in their defense and both of them will lean on their respective offensive lines.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals scored.
