Team News

Hannover
Elversberg
  • Hannover boss Stefan Leitl will have a clean bill of health when his side welcome reigning 3.Liga champions Elversberg to the Heinz-von-Heiden-Arena.
  • New signings Marcel Halstenberg and Max Christiansen are both expected to start in Leitl's 3-4-1-2 setup.
  • Horst Steffen is expected to stick with the same core that earned Elversberg a historic promotion to the 2.Bundesliga last season.
  • Two new signings are expected to make the starting XI on the opening day with former Sandhausen left-back Arne Sicker and Stuttgart loanee Wahid Faghir both in line for debuts.

Prediction

  • Hannover gave manager Stefan Leitl plenty of time to turn his side's fortunes around last season, but a 4-0 final-day defeat to Gruether Fürth did little to generate optimism heading into the summer break. The hosts have recruited well though, and head into the 2023/24 campaign with the expectation of a promotion charge. Any less and Leitl could be out of the door.
  • Despite winning just one of their final three league games last season, Elversberg held onto the top spot to secure a historic, title-winning promotion season in the 3.Liga. Horst Steffen's side have a shoestring budget compared to their rivals, and anything other than relegation will be a major achievement for the visitors.
