These two sides last met in April, when Darmstadt 98 lost at home 0-2, but in the two meetings before that, the hosts won both (3-1 and 2-3), so this is not a fixture where one side clearly dominates. Hannover 96's recent form is hot after a 9-1 thrashing of Hemelingen in the DFB Pokal on 22 Aug, while Darmstadt 98 just lost 0-1 in the league and now face a team that is especially good at scoring late goals. The first thing to watch after kickoff is Darmstadt 98's defense, which concedes 33% of its goals between 31-45 minutes, and how it copes with Hannover 96's attack, which scores 25% of its goals between 76-90 minutes.
