Hannover- Augsburg
Here we have two teams with different targets. This are typical home teams especially Augsburg who play with fighting spirit and has huge support from own fans. Hannover is strong too at home they have very good streak without lose on AWD Arena. In this season strong teams lose points here I think about Leverkusen or Bayern. Teams like Nurnberg or Stuttgart lose points too and of course this all teams are much stronger than Augsburg. I don't think so that away will take some points here. It will be hard game for away.
Hannover last time catch the wind after Europa League match against Brugge. They improved efficiency and scored more than one goals. They liked won by one goal often but it was little risky mainly on away, now they can creating more scoring oppotunity and can win with handicaps. If we contrast potential of individual players home side is much better in all aspects. The strong points for Hannover last time are free kicks delivered by Pinto and Pander what may be good opportunity to score against weak Augsburg defence . Away has huge problems in central defence with inividuals anither is that they play close each other and arises new problem spaces on the wings for rivals. Hannover need 3-4 passes to move on opponent half and crating scoring chances with a lot spaces and not good defence they will not have problems here. Augsburg scored last time few goals but half was after terrible mistakes in opponent defence. Hannover is working as team with good indyviduals we can't talk the same about Augsburg who use simple measure to score.
Last performacnes by Hannover was on very good level. Against Stuttgart used all mistakes but in last 20 minutes feel to confident and lose 2 goals. If they will be clinacal as against VFB will win with handi. On Away against Dortmund played good too despite lose especialy ofence showed tha can creating scoring chances against one of the best defence in the league. Augsburg last time at home won against Hertha , it was very undeserved result in my opinion, Hertha looked better especialyy in first half and draw for me was to a fair result. Against Leverkusen their attitude in defence was a joke they played without communication , and leave a lot of space for Bayer in ofence how was result ? Of cours 4:1 for home 5 or 6 was possible too.
Hannover will have not problems here. If they will be clinical win with handi readily. Danger may be free kicks for Augsburg what is their strong point but it will be not enough on Hannover who can score 2-3 goals. Players was on national duty but the most tried may be Didi only. In Augsburg very good technical Hosogai may be tried too. Two important misses in Hannover Pander and Schmiedebach but against Augsburg it will be not huge problem, the most important is that all ofence players will play. Last aspect is quality. Of cours Augsburg is team who fight a lot but Bundesliga is brutal and it is not enough to fight with team like Hannover. Augsburg will need more chance to score because of weak efficiency. All aspects are on Hannover side.
Possible line-ups:
Hannover: Zieler - Cherundolo, Eggimann, Pogatetz, C. Schulz - Schlaudraff, Pinto, Stindl, Rausch - M. Diouf, Abdellaoue
Augsburg: Jentzsch - Verhaegh, Sankoh, S. Langkamp, Ostrzolek - Callsen-Bracker, Hosogai - Koo, Baier, Bellinghausen - Oehrl
PICK: Hannover -0,75 @ 1,98
6/10
Freiburg-Schalke
Freiburg is typical relagtion team. Their defence is on Bundeslia II level. Ofence look not bad but they need weak oppononet to score but sometimes it is not enough. Freiburg has problems with quality, often waste 100% chances to score but it is normal for this kind of teams. Last results by home side may look good but their style of game not convicing me enough if we look that their opponent will be Schalke. Every game for Freiburg is very important and we can see fighting spirit in this team but against Schalke it is not enough. They have lucky that take draw against Bayern it is diffrent story when teams play against Bayern. Let's go back to last games against Stuttgart, Wolfsburg and Werder. Freiburg has huge problems in defence especialy when rivals play fast and are using fast wingers. Against Werder and Bayern two players made scoring opportunity against 4/5 defence players. Schalke will use very fast Frafan on wings or Uchida and I'm sure that this players will make diffrence and Fuchs who delivery balls from left side but he is questionable . Expirience player like Raul or hungry and talented Pukki will have easy work.Freiburg defenders has huge problems with individuals and leave a lot of space and react to slow. Schalke perfomacne against weak teams in defence showed how they can use their potential in ofence ! Here will be the same scenario in my opinion , they can creating scoring what mean that score few. Schalke has of course problems last time, mainly in defence but Howedes is back and it is good information. Last time Matip played not good, he made some stupid mistakes but Freiburg look very poor and don not worry about it. Freiburg has good players Like Makiadi and Flum who played very well last time but the blues has Huntellar, Raul, Draxler, Obasi, Pukki Uchida and Fuchs who support attacks on the wings. Defence is better in Schalke of course , they did mistakes last time but not TERRIBLE MISTAKES like FREIBURG !.
Schalke in my opinion is very confident bet in this round. I can not agree with this odds - sorry on Bayern bookies offered around 1,4 but it will be easier game for Schalke because when team play against Bayern their perfomaces are playing on 200%. Good example may be HSV - their game against Bayern was the best in this sason but what happend after that? Everyone know, they played much worse. Another is Hannover which won and after game with Bayern lose. Clashes against Bayern are not good materials to analysis and compare. All players are available for Schalke coach,Holtby will play and Howedes too that makes that defence will be good. Odds are wrong here, Huntellar out but Pukki can raplace him in 100%, coach did not chose Farfan propably lack of good condition. Bookies set wrong odds definetly now. Line-up form kicker.de but it will be change in my opinion 2morrow. Schalke misses Farfan and Huntellar only, Freiburg without Krmas, Mujdza and Schuster.
Possible line-ups
Freiburg:Baumann - Sorg, Diagné, Höhn, Lumb - Schmid, Flum, Makiadi, Rosenthal - Jendrisek, Santini
Schalke:Hildebrand - Höwedes, Papadopoulos, Matip, Fuchs - J. Jones, Holtby - Uchida, Raul, Draxler - Marica
PICK: Schalke -0,5 @ 2,06
