- 0' Welcome to Vonovia Ruhrstadion that hosts another battle between VfL Bochum 1848 and Hannover 96.

- 10' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Hannover 96 winning 0% of all matches.
- 15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Hannover 96 that had 290 games and scored 157 goals.
- 19' A meaty challenge results in booking for Moritz-Broni Kwarteng on 19.
- 24' Boris Tomiak has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 36 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 29' Hannover 96 started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 29.
- 34' Matus Bero needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 3 Red cards this season.
- 39' Hannover 96 seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 44' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Francis Onyeka suffering a number of foals already.

- 77' A meaty challenge results in booking for Noel Aseko Nkili on 77.
- 79' Matus Bero was booked on 79.
- 84' VfL Bochum 1848 is showing some good football. However, VfL Bochum 1848 are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
