Comparative Team Statistics: Eintracht Braunschweig vs Hannover 96

A long rivalry with no clear trend

These two have met many times over the years, across different divisions, and results have gone both ways. There's no strong head-to-head pattern to lean on here.

The most recent meeting, at Braunschweig's ground last season, ended in a 3-0 win for Hannover. The one before that went the home side's way 1-0. It's mixed enough that current form probably tells us more than history does.

Where they sit right now

Hannover currently sit 10th with seven points from six league games. Braunschweig are down in 15th on four points, a five-point gap between two sides who've both had uneven starts.

It's still early enough in the campaign that neither position is fixed, but the table does line up with the recent form each side has shown.

The gap in points backs up Hannover's slightly better recent form.

Key men to watch

Jan Urbich has been Braunschweig's most reliable source of goals, with three in his last six appearances, and Max Marie has chipped in a couple of assists alongside him.
