Hannover 96 welcome the visitors RB Leipzig in the German Bundesliga – Round 20. The match will be held on Friday, February 1st, at the HDI-Arena (Hannover).
Hannover 96 are the Bundesliga outsiders and the main candidate for relegation from the elite division. Thomas Doll’s men are hardly effective (they scored only 18 goals, which is the league’s third-last result) and very leaking (they allowed 41 goals, also third-worst in this). At home, Hannover celebrated only 2 wins, drawed once, and lost in 6 encounters; that said, in 9 rounds on their turf, tomorrow’s hosts managed to net just 7 times (a miserable record). In this year, the team did not attain any win and featured defeats to Werder (0:1) and Borussia Dortmund (5:1). Thus, Hannover are very unlikely to withstand one of the Bundesliga leaders, RB Leipzig, despite their home match advantage.

The visitors are presently 4th in the standings, and they fight for the Champion League tiers. In this season, they cannot boast their away record – the team’s 9 outings saw their 3 wins, 2 draws, and 4 defeats. In the last round, they smashed Fortuna out (0:4), thus breaking their away loss streak that lasted for 3 games. The guests have dropped enough points so far, and now they are 5 points behind the 3rd line. Moreover, Eintracht are chasing them (3-point breakaway). So, Leipzig need to rack up points, especially when meeting the outsiders.
The visitors are certainly clear favorites in the coming clash. They boast better qualified and more effective squad, their players’ form is good, and they are highly motivated by their run for the Champions League place. Hannover can hardly present any challenge to the opponent, thus, Leipzig’s win looks most possible.
Prediction for the match: RB Leipzig to win away.
