Hannover 96 before a key game: Can Darmstadt overtake?
An exciting duel is on the agenda on Saturday, where Hannover 96 welcomes the guests of SV Darmstadt 98. This game not only has sporting explosiveness, but also the opportunity for Darmstadt to move past the table with a win. A home win would also help Hannover shorten the gap to the top teams, which is particularly important for the team in order to stay in the race for the top places.
The game promises a lot of excitement, not least because of the competition in the middle of the table. Schalke and Elversberg will meet at the same time, which could result in possible point losses for both sides. Against this background, Hannover 96 will have to do without some players who are important for the coming challenges.
Injury problem at Hannover 96
The current personnel situation is giving the Hannover 96 coaching team a headache. Lidberg in particular, who has only recently recovered from a flu-like infection, could potentially score goals if he is fit enough. Hornby, who had to be treated on the sidelines in the last game against Bielefeld, is also questionable. Defender Neubauer will be out indefinitely with a muscle injury, which will further weaken Lower Saxony's already shaky defense. 96's defense needs to be changed again, which doesn't exactly increase the chances of a win.
