Hannover 96 and VfL Wolfsburg, both promotion hopefuls in the 2. Bundesliga, face off on Sunday. Each team is seeking their first victory of the season following disappointing performances last week. While Wolfsburg drew goalless with Kaiserslautern at home, Hannover suffered a setback against Energie Cottbus, conceding goals from a penalty, free-kick, and corner-kick.
The two Lower Saxony clubs last encountered each other in 2019. At that time, Hannover, in a struggling form, lost 3-1 to the current visitors at Volkswagen Arena. Since then, Hannover has remained in the 2. Bundesliga, while Wolfsburg experienced their first-ever relegation from the Bundesliga last season.
Team news reveals that Hannover recently signed attacking midfielder Marcel Hartel, who previously contributed to Arminia Bielefeld and St. Pauli's promotions. However, Hartel might take some time to break into the first team. On the other hand, Wolfsburg's sporting director Dieter Hecking announced that Mohamed Amoura, Moritz Jenz, Kamil Grabara, and Aster Vranckx will not have a future with the club.
