Friendly - Hannover v Hertha (3 Aug 08)

[McFly]

Hannover 96 @ 2.5 canbet 4/10

This is the second game from H96 and Hertha BSC Berlin in the Mallorca Summer Cup. While Hannover defeated 2-4 to Mallorca, Hertha won 1-0 over Newcastle. Yet I'm leaning clearly to H96 here thinking it's quite a good price for them. Hertha have squad problems playing without the likes of the severly injured keeper Fiedler, Simunic, Dardai, Piszczek, Ebert and possibly captain Friedrich. All those are key players and also the huge number of games for Hertha recently may speak for the opponent. Hertha beat a very harmless Newcastle so that they'll have more problems tonight surely. Normally, Hertha can rely on defence having not enough force in the attack on the other hand - yet with all the missings, it will be hard to resist a Hannover that has gained much quality in offence compared to previous season. Forsell and Schlaudraff are excellent options for a team like H96, besides Rosenthal and Bruggink are in good shape. Results during preparations have been average only but today the first XI are expected for the first time. Odds and circumstances definately are worth a punt.
