Hannover 96 head to Mainz on Saturday as they continue their pursuit of the Bundesliga’s top six.
Hannover 96 are currently seventh in Germany’s top flight with a record of seven wins, nine draws and four losses leaving them a point off the European places.
They were expected to fight against relegation last season but stunned the doubters by finishing fourth, and Mirko Slomka’s men are desperate to prove that it was no fluke. Hannover 96 have put themselves in the mix for another campaign in Europe and they will be keen to keep the pressure on those above them.
They are certainly doing that having won their last two games to make it seven unbeaten in the Bundesliga, and Hannover 96 are 3/1 to extend that run with a victory here.
Mainz have been unable to build on their success in the 2010/11 season and they find themselves fighting against relegation this time around.
A record of five wins, seven draws and eight losses has left them 13th in the standings, four points clear of the relegation play-off place and five clear of the automatic relegation places. Mainz boosted their survival fight by taking four points from their last two games and they are 10/11 favourites to collect three more here. The draw is priced 12/5.
