Hoffenheim are in top form at the moment and it couldn’t have been a better time for them. They have netted 20 times in their last six league games, and they are unbeaten in their last 8 games ahead of this match. This run of form is currently the best in the division and it has reignited their push for a Champions League place yet again.
They defeated RB Leipzig 5-2 away from home in their last league game to take themselves to within 2 points of 4th placed Bayer Leverkusen, that should serve as a morale booster for them ahead of this game.
Hannover looked like they had found some much-needed form when they ended their run of five consecutive defeats and collected 4 points from two games. However, last weekend, Bayern Munich showed them why they have been winning the league by trashing them 3-0 at their own stadium. They have already secured themselves from automatic relegation, however, they can still fall into the relegation playoff spots if they don’t get good results from their remaining matches.
Hannover 96 won the reverse fixture 2-0 in December, but they have never won at Hoffenheim.
