Hannover 96 vs Kaiserslautern

Hannover will seek for three points against Kaiserslautern to ensure their participation in Europa League next season. Sixth consecutive away defeat for Hannover to the 1-0 in Leverkusen, and they continued the poor performances away from home, but the defeats of Hoffenheim and Werder, allowed them to maintain the 7th position in the league table, giving the last ticket for the Europa League next season. With 45 points, they are located one point away from Wolfsburg and three points away from Werder, facing already relegated Kaiserslautern. Hannover at home ground have a 9-7-0 record with 29-16 goals, and with a win they surely get the 7th place. Striker Diouf remains out of squad, and Schlaudraff with Ya Konan are expected to start in front line.

 

Hannover : Zieler – Cherundolo, Haggui, Pogatetz, Pander – Schmiedebach, Pinto – Stindl, Rausch – Schlaudraff, Ya Konan.

 

Kaiserslautern had the lead against Dortmund, but they finally accepted five goals in their last home game of the season. They seemed doomed for 2.Bundesliga, and although they were with no stress to their last two games, as they were already relegated, they really struggled to the last two games, with very bad performances. Brazilian defender Rodnei, defender Simunek and attacker Kouemaha are all still out of the squad for different reasons.

 

Kaiserslautern: Sippel – Dick, Abel, Yahia, Bugera – Borysiuk – Fortounis, Tiffert, De Wit, Sahan – Wooten.

 

Hannover wants to finish the season with a convincing win at home and to avoid any trouble in adventures regarding European exit. Struggling Kaiserslautern is playing with no stress and very open games, and this can help Hannover to win with more than two goals difference.
