THE PREDICTION

Eintracht Braunschweig will be out for revenge against their Lower Saxony rivals after a 4-1 defeat in the reverse fixture in October, but more importantly they need the points as they currently sit second from bottom in the table. They have collected 14 of their 17 points at home this season, and beat Heidenheim last time out at the Eintracht-Stadion. Hannover 96’s recent results have been inconsistent, alternating between wins and losses in their last five games, and local derbies are notoriously tricky to predict. Instead, it might be better to back goals, since Braunschweig have the joint worst defence in the division while the visitors have scored 16 goals in their last eight league matches.
