In my opinion Hannover have really good chances to make at least one point in today's match up.

Of course, St. Pauli is the best home team in whole league, but they have unbelievably bad record at home against Hannover. They didn't won against at Millerntor Stadion in almost 28 years! In previous season Hannover won here 2:1.

At the start of the December Hannover changed a coach, they signed Christoph Dabrowski and improvement with him on the bench is very visible. In 8 matches they lost only twice and they were able to win against strong HSV or Gladbach from Bundesliga in Cup. In last round they had 2:2 at home against 4th Darmstadt and that was good performance from Hannover. Today they have only one new missing - central midfielder Ondoua, but he didn't played well in last game.

On the other hand St. Pauli form slashed down in last weeks - they have only 2 wins in last 7 matches in all competitions. Defensive formation is extremely unstable at the moment - they conceded more than one goal in last 5 league matches in a row . In addition to that key central defender Ziereis get injured in last round match and is unavailable today.

In comparison to the previous round, St.Pauli today probably will play without three offensive players: Kyereh (best assistant and second-best scorer), Dittgen (third-best scorer) and Amenyido (he scored a goal in last round). Hannover have really solid defensive formation. They kept clean sheet 8 times already (only Nurnberg have more) and they have almost the lowest expected goals conceded number (2th place) in whole league.

I see excellent value on away side.

在我看来，汉诺威有很好的机会在今天的比赛中至少取得一分。

当然，圣保利是整个联赛中最好的主队，但他们在主场对阵汉诺威时的战绩令人难以置信。近 28 年来，他们没有在 Millerntor Stadion 战胜过对手！上赛季汉诺威在这里2:1获胜。

12月初汉诺威换了教练，他们签下了克里斯托夫·达布罗夫斯基，他在替补席上的进步非常明显。在8场比赛中，他们只输了两次，他们在杯赛中战胜了来自德甲的强队HSV或门兴。上轮他们在主场2:2战胜了4th达姆施塔特，这是汉诺威的出色表现

今天他们只缺少一名新的中场球员翁杜瓦，但他在上一场比赛中表现不佳。

另一方面，圣保利的状态大幅下降——他们在所有比赛的最后 7 场比赛中只赢了 2 场。目前防守阵型非常不稳定——他们失球更多最近 5 场联赛 连续 1 个 进球 .此外，关键的中卫齐埃雷斯在上轮比赛中受伤，今天无法上场。

与上一轮相比，圣保利今天可能会在缺少三名进攻球员的情况下出战：凯雷（最佳助理和第二得分手）、迪特根（第三得分手）和阿梅尼多（他在上轮打进一球）。汉诺威的防守阵型非常稳固。他们已经保持了 8 次不失球（只有纽伦堡有更多），而且他们的预期失球数几乎是全联盟最低的（第 2 位）。

我预测客队不败。
