Ball Recovery Time
Ball Recovery Time gives the time in seconds in which it takes a team to win back the ball following a loss of possession. It also allows conclusions to be drawn about a team's style of play. Only time when the ball is in play is counted (i.e. no breaks in play such as for goal-kicks, throw-ins etc).

Milestone
Philipp Klement is playing his 100th second-division match, including 39 for Kaiserslautern (as well as 19 for VfB Stuttgart and 42 for Paderborn). In his 99 previous matches, he has scored 22 times.
Ache debut
For Kaiserslautern, there are three changes to the starting eleven compared to the spectacular 4-3 loss to Hertha. Ache, who was carefully built up with short appearances after Achilles tendon problems, is in the starting lineup for the first time today. Genk loanee Yokota also makes a first start, while Tomiak moves up to the number six position for Kaloc. Elvedi is backin central defence again.
Three new faces for Hannover
Hannover makes three changes, with Halstenberg, Wdowik and Tresoldi replacing Ezeh, Knight and Nielsen. Wdowik is in the Hannover starting eleven for the first time after coming on as a substitute against Fortuna. Tresoldi shone in the U21 national team with three goals in two matches and now looks to carry that form into the league.
