Eintracht Braunschweig - Hannover 96 - L II

Round 12 of the Bundesiga II season continues today:  Eintracht Braunschweig and Hannover 96 will meet face to face on Sunday, 07:30 a.m. EST (U.S.A) at the Eintracht Stadium.  The home side, Eintracht Braunschweig, is the leader in Bundesliga II with 25 pts. and 6 home wins [perfect record at home].  The team lost only once in the last 5 matches (2-3 at Dresden after having a 2-0 lead) and it has a great record against Hannover 96:  Braunschweig won the last 3 home meetings against their opponent and scored 9 goals in the process.  Hanover 96 is 4th in the table with 20 pts., and away record of 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses.  I am expecting Eintracht to bounce back from the 3-2 loss in the last round away from home, i.e., to win this game (or at least get a point from a home draw), and keep a comfortable lead at the top of the table.  With that said, I pick the home team E. Braunschweig to win and/or draw at home [a "safety net"], i.e., the option "Double Chance" (1X).

UPDATE November 06, 2016 - FINAL Result: Eintracht Braunschweig  2-2  Hannover 96.  Braunschweig picked up at least one point, as we expected, but missed the chance to win this game. The home team had so many chances to win it, but failed in the end after taking a 2-0 lead - Reichel 17' and Hernández 36' put the home side upfront, but then in the 38' Harnik and in the 66' Karaman, scored twice for the visitors to tie this game 2-2.  66 is always important number for the system.  This is 2nd game in a row, the leader in the Bundesliga II missed the chance to win after having a 2-0 advantage.  In any event, with the draw, Eintracht Braunschweig is still solid 1st in the table of Bundesliga II with 26 pts., and our bet is a winner.
