Fallen giants

Nuremberg and Hannover are both former champions of Germany and DFB Cup winners, each having played over 1,000 Bundesliga matches. Since their relegation together in 2019, they have both been unsuccessful in securing a return to the top flight.

Long wait for a home win

Nuremberg's last three victories against Hannover have all come away from home (most recently 3-0 in March 2022). Their last home success against the Lower Saxony side dates back to September 2018 (2-0) - at that time both clubs were still playing in the Bundesliga. An own goal by Waldemar Anton put Der Club on the path to victory.

Leopold's free-kick double

In the last encounter in March 2025, Hannover won 2-1 in Nuremberg thanks to two free-kicks from Enzo Leopold, scoring one directly and setting up the winner from another.

Hannover's streak

Hannover have won their last three matches against Nuremberg and are unbeaten in the last six in this fixture (W4, D2).
