Bundesliga: Hannover vs Nurnberg

Hannover made a great start in Bundeliga during August and September, but lately they have been playing more then poor as they haven’t won single Bundesliga match since 2:1 win over Bayern Munichen on 23.10.2011, more then three months ago. However, although they have slipped in the form, everyone still has confidence in their coach as they made great success reaching elimination rounds of Europa League where they’ll face up against Club Bruuge. Still eight games without win is too much and the team is hungry for victory as they have 4-5-0 record at home, they are still rated as favorites here. Jan Schlaudraff is back for Hannover after missing game against Hoffenheim last weekend, while  Karim Haggui and Didier Ya Konan are on African Cup of Nations.

Nurnberg, on the other side, is currently only three points below tonight’s hosts at 12th position, but also with only four points more then play-out positionated K’lautern. Their goal is just to survive this season and they have been doing fine job till now. Still, there are lots of things that need to be improved as they have one of the most unefficient attacks with only 19 goals scored till now. As they don’t have big illusions regarding their possibilities, this game is like an extra game for them as in case of staying undefeated they can only improve their position. After a 2:0 victory over Hertha last weekend, their confidence is boosted and they will surely hope to repeat their great performances from last away game when they won 3:0 in Leverkusen. Markus Feulner will return to his starting eleven for guests as he served his suspension.

In a first match of 19th round of German Bundesliga goals are more then expected. Last nine out of ten matches ended with over 2.5 goals and looking at current situation, where the hosts are in need of a victory and guests are coming in a great mood and have nothing to lose, same scenario is expected tonight too at very good odds.
