[Football- Germany '2. Bundesliga'] 20.10/ 18:30 Hannover 96- FC Magdeburg

In the 2nd Bundesliga Hannover host Magdeburg in this clash at the Niedersachsenstadion (whew) stadium. Hannover sit in 5th in the league with 15 points, having won 4, drawn 3, and lost 2 out of 9 games. They most recently suffered a 3-1 away defeat to third place Kaiserslautern, but you have to go back all the way to their first game of the season when they conceded 2 goals at home. They aren’t exactly a defensive powerhouse, and have conceded in most of the games they have played, but opponents traveling to their stadium rarely rack up the scoring. They have conceded 11 during the season, which is tied for third best in the league. They have also scored the most in the league, with 20 goals. I think there’s a good chance, especially after international break, that they manage to lock down on defense and keep it tight. Likely they concede at least one, but for this value I think its a good bet that they don’t concede a second.

Magdeburg have started alright in the league, sitting in 8th. While they have put up a very respectable 18 goals so far, those goals have mainly come from three wild high scoring games. In their last three matches, they have scored no more than one goal. Two games ago they lost 1-0 to a team in similar strength to Hannover, and they recorded only one shot on target. I’m not gonna go into xG (expected goals) and all those stats, at the end of the day this is a pick that stats will back up to an extent, but may not guarantee everything. I have a sneaky feeling that Hannover will be able to keep the scoring down, considering that besides the Kaiserslautern match, they haven’t been conceded all that many goals. Hopefully Magdeburg attackers are rusty coming into this match.
