THE PREDICTION

Hannover picked up their first away win since May last weekend but they face another tricky assignment against Heidenheim, who have not lost at home in the league since October 2019 and come into this match following back-to-back wins. Frank Schmidt’s charges have averaged two goals a game at the Voith-Arena this term, while the Reds have only failed to score in one of their last 10 away league outings, despite only winning three of them. Both sides will be feeling confident after impressive victories against promotion challengers last time out, which should make for an entertaining contest with no shortage of goals.
