Will they score the milestone goal?

Hannover have scored 999 goals at home in the 2. Bundesliga so far, so the first goal would be their 1000th home goal in this division! Only Fürth have surpassed this mark (1,053).

Many young players at the Club

Nick Seidel is already the 25th different FCN player to be used this season. Eight of them are at most 21 years old, six are even under 20.

Klose has never made so many changes before

Miroslav Klose makes four changes to the starting eleven - more than ever before. The 19-year-old Nick Seidel makes his debut in the 2. Bundesliga, Karafiát and Mahir Emreli are both in the starting line-up for the first time. Additionally, Danilo Soares returns.

Unchanged 96ers

Hannover 96 are playing with the same starting eleven for the third consecutive match for the first time in 2024.

This is how FCN lines up

Reichert - Villadsen, Knoche, Seidel, Soares - Castrop, Jander, Karafiát - Schleimer, Justvan - Emreli

This is how Hannover 96 line up

Zieler - Muroya, Neumann, Halstenberg, Wdowik - Leopold, Christiansen - Lee, Rochelt - Ngankam, Tresoldi

The Referee Team

Referee: Eric Weisbach, Assistant Referee 1: Oliver Lossius, Assistant Referee 2: Justin Hasmann, 4th Official: Steven Greif, VAR: Katrin Rafalski, Assistant VAR: Robert Wessel

What Stefan Leitl says

"Nuremberg has a lot of potential within the squad. The team is assembled with a lot of experience, players like Knoche and Soares have performed in the Bundesliga for years. It's about us getting our game onto the pitch."

What Miroslav Klose says

"We've slightly adjusted our structure and spread out our positioning a bit. The players feel more comfortable with this as well. The next step now is to develop an offensive goal threat."

Nielsen's favourite opponent

Former Fürth player Havard Nielsen has scored against no other team in the 2. Bundesliga as often as against 1. FC Nürnberg (six times in twelve matches).

Good Omen

Since the former FCN player Stefan Leitl (four goals in 59 competitive matches for Nuremberg, Bundesliga promotion in 2001, he made his five top-flight appearances for the club) became manager at Hannover, the Lower Saxony side have remained unbeaten against Nuremberg four times (3-0 twice at home, two draws away).

Crowned with success

Hannover and Nürnberg have both been German champions (H96 twice, FCN 9 times) and cup winners (H96 once, FCN 4 times), and have each played over 1,000 Bundesliga matches.
