Hannover 3/4 to beat Karlsruher SC in Wednesday’s Bundesliga II showdown

Competition: Bundesliga II

Market: Hannover win

Odds: 3/4 @ Bet 365

Hoping to continue on what has been an eye-catching run of form, Hannover will host relegation scrappers Karlsruher SC on Wednesday evening.

Starting with the hosts, while Hannover might not have time to mount a serious promotion push this season, they are enjoying what has been an eye-catching purple patch. In their 26 Bundesliga II matches this season, they have recorded nine wins, eight draws, and nine defeats, scoring 38 and conceding 39 in return. With a points tally of 35, Hannover open the midweek fixtures in ninth and 10 points adrift of the top-three. However, as for their recent run of results, Wednesday hosts have won their last three Bundesliga II matches on the bounce, scoring 10 goals on that winning run. More impressive, losing just one of their last seven second-tier outings, Hannover are unbeaten in their last five matches on home soil, bagging at least a pair of strikes in all bar one of those appearances.

As for the visitors, continuing to show some worrying inconsistencies, Karlsruher SC still find themselves in a real battle at the foot of the Bundesliga II. In their 27 matches this season, they have recorded just six wins, 10 draws, and 11 defeats, scoring 35 and conceding 46 in return. Opening the midweek fixtures sat two points adrift of safety, it should also be noted that Karlsruher hold the second-worst defensive tally in the division. As for their recent run of results, winning just one of their last four Bundesliga II outings, the guests have also lost three of their last four matches on the road. Even more worrying for Karlsruher, they have won just one of their last 12 away fixtures. Given the recent gulf in class, we’re backing a comfortable home victory for Hannover in midweek.
