Frankfurt – Hannover

Not the most glamorous clash here in the 31st round of the Bundesliga between Frankfurt and Hannover, but both teams can play quality football and the analysis might just provide us with a solid betting option.

Eintracht (11th place) is 8 points clear of relegation with just 4 rounds to go, so they are pretty much assured that they will play Bundesliga football next year. It has been a decent season for the hosts, competing in the Europa League, but in the domestic league they didn`t have last seasons’ success. Franfurt is on the back of a 2-0 defeat at Schalke but has won 3 of the last 5 games, including the last two at home.

Hannover is currently on the 13th place in the table and with just 5 points ahead of the playout relegation position they would love to get something here in Frankfurt. Hannover finally won 2-1 against Hamburg last round, ending a horrific 4 match losing streak in which they conceded at least 2 goals every game. As always, Hannover got its points at home, and their away record is one of the worst in the league: 2 wins, 1 draw, 12 losses.

Team news & lineups

Frankfurt continues to miss midfielders Flum and Rodeo, while Hannover still has to cope with missing influential center back Hoffmann. All in all, injuries and suspensions shouldn`t have much of an impact on this game.

Eintracht Frankfurt: Trapp – S. Jung, Zambrano, Madlung, Oczipka – Russ, Lanig – Meier, Barnetta, Aigner – Joselu

Hannover 96: Zieler – H. Sakai, Marcelo, C. Schulz, Pander – Schmiedebach, Andreasen – Bittencourt, Stindl, Huszti – Ya Konan

Hannover might be the more motivated team for this game, but Eintracht has a better squad, they have been the better team throughout the season and are in very good form lately, as opposed to their out of sorts opponents. Also, the home court factor can’t be ignored considering Hannover’s struggles on the road. Eintracht hasn`t been too sharp in front of goal this season and this is why they are in the bottom half of the table, but considering how poor Hannover is defending lately, the hosts should have their chances. I trust my analysis here so my tip is Frankfurt to win – the odds are going down so you might want to take it early for the best value. Prediction: Eintracht Frankfurt – Hannover 2-1.
