Hannover 96
- The home team has won just two of their nine 2. Bundesliga home games, conceding an average of 2.00 goals per-game in the process.
- Hannover 96 are twelve points and nine places above 1.FC Magdeburg in the 2. Bundesliga standings, sitting fifth with 32 points from 19 games compared to Magdeburg’s 20.
- Christian Titz joined Hannover 96 as manager in July 2025 and has implemented a clear possession-first, positional playing style with plenty of rotations and an organised pressing scheme which allows his team to dominate territory and wear down opponents.
1.FC Magdeburg
- The away team have won four, drawn four and lost just two of their ten 2. Bundesliga away games, scoring an average of 1.90 goals per-game.
- Petrik Sander was named as interim head coach of 1.FC Magdeburg in November 2025.
- The hosts set up in deep defensive blocks, look to play directly and don’t apply as much pressure on the ball in the opposition half as they did under former boss Christian Titz, which sets up a classic possession vs counter clash this Friday.
Head-to-Head
A 3-1 win at home in the 2. Bundesliga five months ago means that Hannover 96 are unbeaten in the last four H2H meetings ( W2, D2 ).
Key Players
Benjamin Kaellman has scored 11 league goals in 18 appearances for Hannover 96 and has three of his club’s last seven strikes.
