THE PREDICTION

Hannover 96 boss Kenan Kocak will be looking for an improvement from his team after their 1-0 defeat at Karlsruher SC on Wednesday. The Reds had won four and lost just one of their six games prior to that. Making the short trip to the HDI-Arena are Osnabruck, who went down to their fourth consecutive defeat in midweek. Three of those losses came at home, and Marco Grote’s side have fared better on their travels this season, where 15 of their 22 points have come from. Saying that, Hannover have been fairly strong at home, although recent results have not been as impressive as earlier on in the campaign. On paper the hosts are the stronger side and should have enough quality to inflict a fifth straight defeat on Osnabruck.
