Full-time: Hannover 1-1 Fürth
In their last home match of the season, Hannover came back after falling behind and almost turned the match around, but the apparent winning goal in the last minute of stoppage time was ruled out by VAR. So it remains a deserved draw on balance, but one that does neither side any good.

Ball Recovery Time
Ball Recovery Time gives the time in seconds in which it takes a team to win back the ball following a loss of possession. It also allows conclusions to be drawn about a team's style of play. Only time when the ball is in play is counted (i.e. no breaks in play such as for goal-kicks, throw-ins etc).

Half-time: Hannover 0-1 Greuther
Fürth take a lead into the dressing room and their advantage is certainly deserved. It was Futkeu in the right place at the right time to head his side in front and put them on course for guaranteed safety. Otherwise, there wasn't too much more excitement in front of goal.

Important goal

Permutations
Greuther Fürth can guarantee safety this weekend under two circumstances. Either they win at Hannover and Münster fail to win, or they draw and Münster lose. A draw for the Cloverleaves in any scenario also ensures they can't be automatically relegated.
Interim coach Thomas Kleine on Hannover
"I expect a very aggressive team that also has quality, is strong on the ball and can play very flexibly. Overall, we're facing a good opponent who isn't fighting for promotion without reason."
Interim coach Lars Barlemann on Fürth
"Greuther Fürth has very good individual players. They have many players with a lot of quality; they're a good team. All their recent matches have been close. They are under pressure, needing points to avoid relegation. That's why I expect them to play with intensity. We need to put in a good performance to be successful."
Cloverleaves parts ways with Siewert
Greuther Fürth have dismissed manager Jan Siewert the day after their defeat in Berlin. Sporting Director Stephan Fürstner: "We have made this difficult decision to give the team a new impetus for the final stretch of the season."
Kleine and Pekovic take over
Greuther Fürth will go into the final stretch of the season with the coaching duo Thomas Kleine and Milorad Pekovic, thus installing two individuals familiar with the Cloverleaves. The coaching duo has signed a contract until the end of the season and will be supported by the existing coaching staff.
Familiar facees
Havard Nielsen fired Fürth into the Bundesliga in 2020/21 with 11 goals, while Felix Klaus experienced promotion and relegation in Hannover colours.
Long Drought
Fürth's only away win in 12 outings on Hannover's patch came 25 years ago (2-1).
Home fortress
Hannover have won their last two home games against Fürth are unbeaten at home to Clover Leaves in their last eight (W6, D2).
Better late than never
Noel Futkeu scored seven minutes from normal time to seal Fürth's first win over Hannover since 2020 in the reverse fixture.
