In the DFB Cup, Hanover’s starting goalkeeper Zieler will not be in charge, but his representative Weinkauf. The absence of Teuchert weighs on the squad, as he injured his thigh over the weekend and will be out for weeks.
The list of absentees at BVB is still long: Bynoe-Gittens, Dahoud, Haller and Morey will be out for a long time, and Schulz will no longer be taken into consideration. Wolf and Reus have to stop against the 96er due to illness or injury.

After a weak start to the season, Hannover 96 picked up speed and picked up 16 points in six matchdays before Lower Saxony’s winning streak was ended by Hamburger SV (1:2 defeat). In the last away match in Heidenheim, Stefan Leitl’s team lost 2-1. Last weekend, the fifth-placed team celebrated a successful dress rehearsal against Arminia Bielefeld (2-0). In the first round of the cup, the second division club beat TSV Schott Mainz 3-0.
Things have not been going so well for Borussia Dortmund in recent weeks. There have only been two victories for the yellow and blacks in their last eight competitive matches. In the Bundesliga, the runners-up have not won in three games. While Edin Terzic’s team battled for a last-minute equalizer (2-2) in their top match against FC Bayern Munich, they drew 2-3 and 0-2 away in Cologne and, most recently, in Berlin. BVB, who eliminated TSV 1860 Munich (3-0) in the first cup round, slipped to eighth place in the table.
