5' Daisuke Yokota needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
10' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.

29' Hannover 96 is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
34' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 34 minutes.
39' 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 Maik Nawrocki suffering a number of foals already.
44' Hannover 96 looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Maik Nawrocki scoring 1 goals.
49' 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.
