Hannover go into this game as the only team in the league to not win since returning from the winter break. The team find themselves one place above the relegation playoff spot and are in desperate need of a win. Hertha on the other hand are flying under interim manager Pal Dardai with the team unbeaten in their last six fixtures and sitting comfortably in 11th place.
Hannover however are the bookmakers favourites for this match being placed at evens with Bet365 and Hertha being priced at 11/4 for an away win. League position and recent form points to an away win and 11/4 are brilliant odds if you feel like going for a cheeky punt on Hertha. That being said, it is unlikely that Hannover will go the rest of the season without a win and by playing at home, this gives them a perfect opportunity to secure a much needed 3 points.
Draw and under 2.5 goals at 3/1 with Bet365
