Hannover take on the visitors Magdeburg in the round 10 match of German 2.Bundesliga. The match will be played on Friday, October 20th at Heinz-von-Heiden-Arena (Hannover).
Hannover entered the latest international break in the status of the fifth team in the Second Bundesliga standings. The Reds have accumulated 15 points after nine rounds of play. If it weren't for their recent loss to Kaiserslautern (1:3), Hannover's results could be considered more than satisfactory. Before that, they had lost only once, in the fourth round against Hamburg (0:1). In seven other matches, the team from Lower Saxony's capital secured four victories and played to a draw three times. In the current season, Hannover played four home games, winning against Osnabrück (7:0) and Wehen (2:0), drawing with Elversberg (2:2), and suffering a defeat against Hamburg (0:1). In the game against Hamburg, Hannover spent most of the match with a numerical advantage but still lost.

Magdeburg currently sits in the eighth position in the overall team standings after nine rounds. Under the guidance of Christian Titz, they've gathered 13 points, which is quite a good result for a rather modest team. Magdeburg maintained a clean sheet without defeats for a while, but in their last five matches, Der Club stumbled twice, losing to Schalke (3:4) and Nuremberg (0:1). They also had two matches ending in draws against Paderborn and Karlsruhe (both 1:1). Magdeburg suffered both of their defeats in away matches this season, against Schalke and Nuremberg. In two other matches, they managed to secure draws against St. Pauli (0:0) and Wehen (1:1). Only in the encounter with Holstein, did Titz's team achieve a victory with a score of (4:2).
In the previous season, Hannover and Magdeburg exchanged away wins in their head-to-head matchups, and both games were relatively high-scoring. If they haven't lost their form during the two-week break due to international matches, this season's encounter promises to be rich in goals. Moreover, I believe that, being the home team, Hannover will at least avoid losing. The 96ers have the advantage of playing on their home ground and possess a more balanced squad capable of addressing serious challenges. Magdeburg, on the other hand, lags slightly behind in terms of class and did not perform particularly well in their two recent away matches. I was particularly unimpressed with their performance in the match against Nuremberg. While Magdeburg can find the net against Hannover (perhaps even more than once), it's unlikely that the visitors will secure a victory at the HDI Arena. Prediction: 1X + Over 2.5 Goals.
Prediction for the match: Hannover not to lose and Over 2.5 scored goals.
