Hannover 96 – SpVgg Greuther Fürth

Hannover 96 host SpVgg Greuther Fürth in what promises to be a tight encounter in the lower half of the table, with the home side sitting in 10th place on seven points from six games (two wins, one draw, three defeats) and a modest –2 goal difference. Fürth, three spots below, have collected six points after one victory, three draws and two losses, but their –2 goal difference (nine scored, eleven conceded) suggests they are equally vulnerable at the back. Both clubs have struggled to find consistency, and the fixture could prove decisive for either side’s push to climb out of the relegation‑threatened zone. A win for Hannover would widen the gap to the 12th‑placed Fürth, while a draw would keep the two teams locked in a narrow points battle as the season progresses.
