Neither Hannover 96 or Wolfsburg are in good shape coming into this Niedersachsen Derby, but both teams are on the back of decent performances which should give them confidence.
Hannover is on the last place in the standings, but the hosts are coming after their first win of the year, a 2-1 road victory at Stuttgart. Hannover previously lost 8 matches in a row, scoring just 2 goals in the process, but now the home side will have renewed belief coming into this derby. Nevertheless, it has to be said that Hannover didn`t quite deserve that win last weekend and had plenty of luck to claim the result.
Wolfsburg’s stats are absolutely dreadful, as the visitors won just once in the last 10 Bundesliga matches and are on the 8th place in the standings. However, fact is that Wolfsbrurg picked it up recently and they are actually playing some good football right now. The last 4 matches were very good, much better than stats might suggest. A 3-0 win against Ingolstadt was followed by a 3-2 victory at Gent and a 1-1 road draw against the strong Hertha Berlin. Following that, Wolfsburg lost 0-2 against Bayern over the weekend, but it was an excellent game from Wolfsburg, who kept Bayern in check for more than 1 hour and had plenty of chances to score.

Team news & lineups:
Hannover won’t be able to count on Benschop, Bech, Almeida, Szalai and Andreasen, while Milosevic is questionable. Wolfsburg contines to struggle with injuries, as their lineup will be widowed of the presence of Dost, Benaglio, Ascues, Naldo, Henrique, Seguin and Jung.
Hannover: Zieler – Sakai, Sane, Schulz, Sorg – Hoffmann – Fossum, Wolf , Kiyotake, Yamaguchi – Karaman
Wolfsburg: Casteels – Träsch , Knoche, Dante, Rodriguez – Arnold, Gustavo – Caligiuri, Draxler, Schurrle – Kruse
This looks like a good time to bet on Wolfsburg, as the visitors have vastly improved over the last few weeks, but their odds are still high due to poor stats and results. The visitors are still just 5 points behind the last Champions League spot, so they have full motivation to win this game. On the other hand, so does Hannover.
I fancy Wolfsburg to win this Niedersachsen Derby. Hannover is the weakest team in the league, despite the lucky win against Stuttgart and I don`t see them coping with a rejuvenated Wolfsburg side. The visitors might not yet be at their absolute best, but they are playing well and should claim the three points here.
Hannover can`t score against anybody and they are unlikely to keep Wolfsburg scoreless. My tip is Wolfsburg to win. Prediction: Hannover 96 – Wolfsburg 0-1.
