Hannover picked up a decent point to start the new campaign away at recently relegated Werder Bremen but will be looking to secure all 3pts at home to Jansa Rostock on Saturday. The visitors began life back in the second tier with a defeat at home to Karlsruher and if they didn't know it before that game, they now realise it's going to be a long, hard season.

Hannover to Win
These two sides might not have faced one another competitively since 2008 but Hannover have won four of their last five league meetings. The hosts have started the new season in a positive manner and we're backing them to build on that away point this weekend as Hansa Rostock were well beaten by Karlsruher in their first match.
BTTS
We don't believe that Hannover will have it all their own way on Saturday and have backed both teams to score during the 90-minutes. Four of the host's last five matches have produced goals at both ends of the pitch, while five of Hansa Rostock's last six outings have also seen both teams score.
Over 2.5 Goals
Four of the last six competitive and non-competitive encounters between these two sides have seen over 2.5 goals scored and we're expecting lots of goalmouth action this weekend as well. At least three goals have been scored in two of Hannover's last three outings, while each of Hansa Rostock's last six matches have produced over 2.5 goals.
Everything you need to know ahead of Hannover vs Hansa Rostock
Hannover aiming to get their season up and running with a home win
Hannover will be aiming to perform a lot better this season than they did last time out and that result against Werder Bremen suggests that they should be aiming for a top-half finish at the very least. Hannover went behind away at the recently relegated Bundesliga side thanks to an own goal from Falette but responded really well and were back on level terms 6-minutes later through Ducksch, a goal that earned Hannover a share of the spoils.
Hansa Rostock would have been expecting a tricky 90-minutes at home to Karlsruher but they might not have been expecting to lose in the manner that they did. Kobald and Hofmann scored twice late in the first half to give Karlsruher a substantial lead but Verhoek pulled a goal back for the hosts early in the second forty-five. The next goal was always going to be key to the result of this game and when Jung made it 3-1 with 12-minutes left on the clock, Hansa knew they had lost the game.
