THE PREDICTION
Hannover have lost four of their last five matches but a point on Friday will be enough to confirm their safety. Although they have not been picking up many points lately, Kenan Kocak’s side have still been scoring goals, with a total of 41 falling across their last nine Bundesliga 2 games. What is more, they have drawn a blank in just one of their last 10 at home. Darmstadt travel to the HDI-Arena in good form having won five and lost just one of their last eight games. Both teams scored in all eight matches, though, as they have in the last six meetings between these two sides in all competitions, so that is the standout market here.
