Hannover 96 vs Dynamo Dresden prediction, odds and how to watch

Hannover 96 beat VfL Bochum 1848 2-1 at home despite being thoroughly outplayed for large stretches, with first-half goals from Stefán Teitur Thórdarson and Marcel Hartel proving enough to hold off a Bochum side that dominated the statistics but lacked the clinical edge to take anything from the game.

Jón Dagur Thorsteinsson scored twice for Hertha BSC to complete a 2-1 comeback win at Dynamo Dresden, extending Hertha's winning run to five matches in the 2. Bundesliga.

Eintracht Braunschweig dominated possession and territory but could not hold Dynamo Dresden, who levelled through a penalty from Mehmet Aydin and a Thomas Keller header to share the spoils in a chaotic 2-2 draw.

Hannover 96 did the hard work in the first half, scored twice through Lars Gindorf and Marcel Hartel, and held on to take three points despite a nervy finish against Karlsruher SC in the 2. Bundesliga.

Dynamo Dresden arrive at this 2. Bundesliga clash having shipped twelve goals in their last five matches. Magdeburg smell blood.

Hannover 96 have won once in their last five 2. Bundesliga matches and cannot keep a clean sheet to save their lives. FC St. Pauli arrive in Lower Saxony full of draws and just enough to make this awkward.

Two sides that cannot keep things tight at the back meet in the 2. Bundesliga on Saturday. Something has to give, and someone has to show they actually want it.
