Overview

  • Hannover 96 lead the 2. Bundesliga after four wins in four matches, the league’s only perfect start.
  • Bookmakers now rate Hannover as a leading promotion candidate, with Vbet pricing them at 1.83 to beat Hertha on matchday five.
  • Under Titz’s 3-4-3 possession model, the side posts elite metrics including 8.7 xG, 7.8 expected points, a top-three 3.9 xGA, the fewest shots conceded, and the most sprints.
  • A major summer rebuild with about 15 new signings has yielded a young, energetic squad averaging 24.5 years that has integrated quickly.
  • Saturday’s 20:30 Topspiel against winless Hertha will gauge sustainability and confront a Saturday-evening drought dating to April 29, 2023, with Hertha now coached by former 96 boss Stefan Leitl.
