Hannover 96 will look to secure a first win in three matches when they host Eintracht Braunschweig on Friday evening.
The home side head into this 2. Bundesliga contest after an entertaining draw at league leaders Schalke last weekend, while Eintracht arrive at the Heinz von Heiden Arena following a narrow victory against Fortuna Düsseldorf.
Hannover eased to victory when these sides last met and, with home advantage on their side, enter this fixture as odds-on favourites to return to winning ways.

Hannover 96 team overview
Hannover 96 return to Heinz von Heiden Arena after rescuing a point at 2. Bundesliga leaders Schalke last weekend. Trailing by two with less than ten minutes on the clock, Maik Nawrocki pulled one back before Benedikt Pichler's goal - eight minutes into added time - secured a 2:2 draw at VELTINS-Arena.
Christian Titz's side have gone off the boil in recent weeks, recording just one win from their last four fixtures. Hannover had won four successive Bundesliga II games before their recent dip in form.
A lack of defensive discipline has led to several high-scoring outcomes this year. Seven of Hannover's nine previous fixtures finished with BTTS and over 2.5 goals scored.
Head coach Titz has just one confirmed absentee for Friday's fixture. Stefán Teitur Þórðarson remains sidelined with an injury issue.

Eintracht Braunschweig team overview
Eintracht Braunschweig travel to the Heinz von Heiden Arena with renewed confidence after a hard-fought 1:0 victory against Fortuna Düsseldorf last weekend. Robin Heußer’s second-half strike proved decisive for Heiner Backhaus’s side.
Prior to that much-needed win, Braunschweig had failed to secure victory in five consecutive 2. Bundesliga fixtures. Still battling to avoid relegation, they sit 13th in the table, three points clear of the drop zone.
Like their hosts, defensive frailties have contributed to frequent BTTS outcomes. Nine of their last 13 matches, including five of their previous six, have seen both teams find the net.
Backhaus has no reported injury concerns ahead of this contest.

Prediction
Hannover 96 have not been at their best in recent weeks, and while favourites to win, seem unlikely to keep a clean sheet.
BTTS is my preferred selection for Friday's 2. Bundesliga encounter.
Three Reasons Why We Expect BTTS
- Hannover 96 have seen BTTS in 7 of their last 9 matches
- Hannover 96 have seen BTTS in 3 of their last 4 home matches
- Eintracht Braunschweig have seen BTTS in 5 of their last 6 matches
