Hannover 96 welcome VfL Osnabrück at Heinz von Heiden-Arena, Hannover on Sunday, Apr 18 at 1:30 PM in a 2. Bundesliga fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.
Hannover 96 come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 1D 2L). VfL Osnabrück travel out of form (1W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Hannover 96 won their last outing, while VfL Osnabrück suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.
In 10 previous meetings, Hannover 96 lead 5–3 with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Hannover 96 won 0–1. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.6 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Hannover 96 a slight edge, but VfL Osnabrück are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
