**Hannover looking to arrest their skid against a **Bochum side riding high**.** 🔥 The hosts have stuttered lately (2W-1D-2L), while the visitors arrive on a three-win tear—this is a classic trap-door scenario.
Hannover's defensive vulnerability has been exposed (just one clean sheet in five), but Bochum's missing defensive depth with **Drakas** out could offer opportunities. **Bochum** are the slight edge here off form, though the H2H tells a murkier story (Hannover edge historically on home soil).
Key storylines:
- **M. Bundu** and **B. Pichler** need to convert chances; Hannover's attack has misfired despite chances
- **P. Hofmann** leading Bochum's press after netting in the last two—the focal point of their counter threat
- Midfield battle: **M. Hartel** vs **E. Çokaj** shaping possession control
Expected lineups:
- **Hannover 96**: L. Weinkauf, B. Tomiak, M. Neubauer, K. Oudenne, M. Hartel, W. Taibi, B. Pichler, M. Bundu
- **VfL Bochum 1848**: T. Horn, M. Wittek, K. Mets, O. Olsen, E. Çokaj, T. Meyer, G. Holtmann, P. Hofmann
Prediction:
**1-1 draw.** Both sides have the firepower to score but defensive brittleness suggests neither pulls clear. Lean slight edge to **Bochum** to grind out a point on the road. ⚽
Our calls before kick-off, and how they went.
A confidence, not a tip. We do not claim these beat the bookmakers' price — the odds are short precisely because the outcome is likely.
