Hannover 96 vs WolfsburgPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

The Heinz-von-Heiden-Arena brings together two opposite ways of starting a season. Hannover 96 lost 3-1 on the road and remain sixteenth without a point, while Wolfsburg drew 0-0 at home for the single point that has them twelfth. Four goals in the hosts' opening fixture, none in the visitors': the two extremes of the weekend meet here. The Hannover defence has already been beaten three times in ninety minutes, whereas Wolfsburg have yet to concede and, by the same token, have yet to celebrate anything at the other end. The wider setting leans towards goals, with the league averaging 3.27 per game. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
