The last rounds didn't run by wish for Hannover 96. Especially the heavy and tight program with Bundesliga and Europa League becomes difficult. Hannover haven't won the previous five Bundesliga matches (3 draws, 2 defeats), the last two rounds brought a 1:1 at home against Hamburger SV and a 1:1 at SC Freiburg. Hence, Slomka's side has fallen back on table rank 8. However, at home they are still undefeated in this Bundesliga season (4 wins, 4 draws). Not in the squad are the injured players Carlitos, Hauger and Andreasen.
Bayer 04 Leverkusen becomes stronger and stronger in the last weeks. Leverkusen is since 5 league games undefeated (3 wins, 2 draws), the last matchday brought a 2:0 at home against 1899 Hoffenheim through goals from Derdiyok and Sam. In the table they are six points behind league leader Bayern München. On Tuesday they reached a 1:1 draw in the Champions League at KRC Genk. Manager Robin Dutt will have to pass on Adler, Barnetta, Bellarabi, Balitsch and Renato Augusto

Four of the previous six Hannover home matches against Bayer Leverkusen ended with a draw. Also this time I see here good chances for a draw. Hannover is undefeated at home, Leverkusen the strongest away team. I bet on a draw.
