Different potential

Hannover started the new season with a rather expected home loss to Stuttgart, followed by a second loss to Regensburg on the road. In the previous weekend, they registered their first win over Wehen on the road (3-0). They were clear superior from the start, however, they opened the scoreline just before the halftime. The central defender Hubers isn't available tonight, as well as winger Korb and attacker Jonathas. On the contrary, midfielder Jung is 100% fit.

Greuther Furth registered two wins and a loss so far this season. The disappointment from the 2-0 home loss to Aue in their opening game was replaced by the satisfaction from the 3-1 win over St Pauli's on the road and the 1-0 home win over Regensburg. Despite these successful results, their goals are still quite realistic, actually Greuther Furth target to avoid relegation. Attacking midfielder Ernst is doubtful, while defender Wittek is out for one more time. 

I expect an even more improved performance from Hannover as they are one of the candidates for the promotion in next season's Bundesliga. On the other hand, Greuther Furth are a team of lower potential, probably they can't stay for long in the first half of the table. Hannover had the upper hand the last four times they welcomed Greuther Furth (four wins) and I believe they will do this again tonight in HDI-Arena. Home win is my call.
