Hannover is a very difficult opponent with a specific style of play and a clear game plan. Our main objective is to expose their weaknesses. They are a very possession-based team, but they also take a lot of risks.
Christian Titz, head coach of Hannover 96, at the press conference before the match: „It will be crucial how we play against Darmstadt in set pieces, as they have a lot of tall players who are strong in the air. Darmstadt is a team that can play deep. But they can also switch between different formations. We have to be especially careful with their counter-attacks – when they look for their target men up front, who have a lot of quality. But above all, we’re focusing on ourselves: how we win our one-on-one duels in attack, how we create opportunities, and how we find solutions with the ball.“
During Saturday’s away game against Hannover 96, temperatures of around 7 degrees Celsius are expected under cloudy skies. The chance of precipitation is 10 percent.
