Hannover – Bayern

Hannover Bayern Munchen betting previewAfter a horrible run of 14 matches with a single win, Hannover (11th place) looked to get back in form in late January, defeating Wolfsburg and Gladbach on the back of 2 impressive performances. However, the hosts went on to lose the next two games against Schalke and Mainz with the same 2-0 scoreline, albeit both matches were on the road, where Hannover is simply awful, losing 10 out of 11 games this season. At home it`s a different story for the hosts. Traditionally strong on their own turf, Hannover made no exception this season despite having a poor season overall. With 6 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss at home, the hosts are a dangerous opponent for pretty much any team at HDI Arena.

Bayern is playing brilliant this season under Guardiola, the spanish manager raising to the task of keeping the same level of play (or improving it) of Jupp Heynkess` team. The Bavarians are already virtual champions after just 21 rounds, holding a 16 point advantage ahead of Leverkusen and having one game in hand. Bayern won the last 10 competitive matches they played, 9 of them with at least 2 goals difference, and is on the back of a solid 2-0 success against Arsenal in the Champions League.

Team news and lineups

Felipe, Cherundolo, Hoffman, Konan and Pander are unavailable for Hannover 96. Bayern Munchen will still be without Ribery, Badstuber and Shaqiri.

Hannover 96: Zieler – Rajtoral, Marcelo, Hoffmann, C. Schulz – Schmiedebach, Stindl – Huszti, Bittencourt, Schlaudraff – Rudnevs

Bayern Munchen: Neuer – Rafinha, Boateng, Dante, Alaba – Alcantara, Schweinsteiger – Robben, T. Muller, M. Gotze – Mandzukic

The Bayern to win bet looks like a no-brainer here but I expect it to be tougher than for the visitors than the 1.20 odds suggest. The Champions League game in London might have taken something from Bayern in terms of fitness, and surely they do not have too much motivation coming into this Hannover game. The hosts will fight for their lives and at home they are capable of holding their own even against the Bavarians. My tip is Hannover to keep this close and cover the 1,5 goal handicap at pretty good odds. I`ll take a calculated risk with rather high (but reasonable) stakes. Prediction: Hannover 96 – Bayern Munchen 1-2.
