Hannover - Schalke

       Before the league started, Hannover played 4 friendlies at home, drew here with strong Dutch side, Twente 3-3, won with strong Bundesliga club, Wolfsburg 3-2, played a recent friendly during the international break with decent St. Pauli from the first league and won 3-2. Not to mention they have won all 4 league games at home this season so far, keeping even several clean sheets which is rare for this 2nd league even at home for clubs. Schalke lost 2-0 at Karlsruher and 3-1 at Nurnberg this season and I back the home win.
