THE PREDICTION
Sandhausen’s 4-0 drubbing at the hands of Wolfsburg in the DFB Cup before Christmas was their fourth straight loss without scoring. Michael Schiele’s men have now conceded 13 goals without reply, leaving them as the joint lowest scorers in the division. Hannover 96 have not been particularly prolific in front of goal either, scoring just four goals in their last seven games, but defensively the Reds have been better as they have also kept a clean sheet in three of the last four. A low-scoring encounter is therefore on the cards here.
