Sandhausen take on the visitors Hannover in the round 9 match of German Bundesliga 2. The match will be played on Friday, September 16th at Hardtwaldstadion (Sandhausen).
Sandhausen are fairly consistent, though not particularly strong. The "Black and White" 10 years ago, in 2012, moved up to the Bundesliga 2. All this time, it has been possible to avoid relegation to a lower division. But at the same time, the maximum result in this segment was 10th place, where they finished twice. Last spring, for example, they took 14th position. It turned out to be a relatively good at the start of the new season: a cup victory, 3 points each in the first home championship matches, with Arminia and Fortuna. Then, however, Zhirov and the company lost three times in a row. And only in September it turned out to play 0-0 with Kaiserslautern.

Hannover hints at regaining ambition this season. The Reds played in the Bundesliga 1 until recently. Moreover, they performed, and with dignity, in the Europa League. But in recent seasons, the ambitious team seemed to be stuck in the 2nd division of the country. For example, last season brought only 42 points and 11th place. Of course, they want more, and Leitl was called to raise the popular team. Stefan lifted Greuther Furth to the country's top league. At the new place, the coach started frankly weakly, collecting only 1 point in 3 starting rounds (albeit in combination with a victory in the cup). But towards the end of August, the team was able to win four times in a row, moreover, they were able to concede only once in this segment. But last Saturday there was only a draw at home with one of the outsiders - Eintracht from Braunschweig.
In total, 8 matches were played between the teams. And Hannover was unexpectedly able to win only once. For comparison: Sandhausen have 4 victories, and they came in 5 recent duels. Hannover will be the favorite here, but Sandhausen in such a pair can “close” the game and try to play 0-0. So do not expect spectacular football, here we focus on "total under 2.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
