Hannover 96 and Borussia Dortmund both head into their DFB-Pokal second-round match on the backs of 3-0 victories in the opening round.
In matches played at the end of July, Hannover defeated Oberliga side TSV Schott Mainz while Dortmund bested 3.Liga club 1860 Munich. Now they face each other in a game featuring teams that expect better results than what they've been seeing so far in their respective league campaigns.
The hosts sit fifth in the 2. Bundesliga after losing two of their last three league games. However, their most recent fixture was a 2-0 victory over Arminia Bielefeld, giving the Reds a much-needed confidence boost ahead of the cup tie.
Meanwhile, Dortmund are mired in mediocrity and sit in eighth place in the Bundesliga after 10 matches. The Yellow Submarine are winless in three in the league, and struggled to a 1-1 draw against visiting Sevilla in the Champions League last week. Getting away from the Bundesliga and Champions League may be the remedy for Dortmund's ailments, but Hannover will look to make the Heinz-von-Heiden-Arena as inhospitible to their struggling guests as possible.
