In the 1/32-finals fixture of the DFB Pokal the team of Andre Breitenreiter beat Karlsruher with a 6-0 score. In their two matches of the 2018/2019 Bundesliga season Hannover 96 drew both times (against Werder Bremen with a 1-1 score, against Borussia Dortmund with a 0-0 score).
Leipzig and Hannover 96 have had only two fixtures between them in history and Die Bullen have won both of them (2-1, 3-2). It is likely that the team of Ralf Rangnick will get a victory in front of their home crowd in the upcoming fixture.
Prediction for the match: Leipzig to win.
