Hannover 96 are going through a rough patch. They haven't won any of their last five matches, with three losses and two draws, so the team is clearly struggling for form right now. Hertha BSC are in better shape, having won two of their last five, though they also lost twice and drew once in that stretch.

When these two teams have met recently, the games have tended to be tight and low-scoring, with several draws and a couple of narrow wins for Hertha. Overall, this looks like a close match between a home side that's struggling and an away side that's a bit more solid. Hertha BSC look the more likely team to come out on top, though a draw wouldn't be a surprise.
