Karlsruher head into this match with some confidence in the knowledge that they recorded a solid 2-1 away win against Hansa Rostock in their last league encounter.  Their share of possession in that meeting was 58%, while racking up 16 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target, in contrast to Hansa Rostock, who had 17 shots on goal with 6 on target.  

Manager Christian Eichner will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but playing at home, they have conceded a goal in 12 of their 16 games this season.  

They have been performing well at BBBank Wildpark recently and are unbeaten in their last 10 home games.  

With 5 league goals in 6 games at home in BBBank Wildpark, Igor Matanović will be feeling confident about hitting the net again in this home encounter.

Hannover 96 will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 3-2 home win against Paderborn 07.  They came away from that fixture with a 45% share of the possession and clocked up 19 attempts on goal with 5 on target, in comparison to Paderborn 07, who managed 19 attempts on goal, 8 of which were on target.  

It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 9 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 6 goals shipped and valuable points dropped.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games.  

There will be mixed feelings from Die Roten, having been undefeated in their last 4 away league games, but drawn the last 2 of these games.
