Full-time: Schalke 2-2 Hannover

Take a breath! In the end, a dramatic final phase develops. Schalke lead deservedly for a long time, but made life difficult for themselves through the red card for Džeko. Hannover subsequently saw more possession, but initially hardly created clear chances and couldn't make use of the numerical advantage. Nine minutes before the end, Karius first saved a penalty from Leopold, but after the following corner, the score becomes 1-2. Schalke then dropped deep, while Hannover threw everything forward. In the very last second, the visitors finally managed to equalise to secure an important point. Although Schalke were the better team for long stretches, a football match is known to last 90 minutes.

Unbelievable!

There's the equaliser for Hannover after all. The final cross from Bundu reaches Pichler because Karius runs under the ball. In the very last second, Hannover secure a point!

Hannover has hope again

One point would be almost like a victory for Hannover. The visitors will now certainly throw everything forward to secure at least that one point.

Corner for Schalke!

El-Faouzi is in no hurry to take it, of course. His corner reaches Bachmann, who heads it well wide.

Events are coming thick and fast now!

The direct corner leads to a goal for Hannover. Karius deflects the first attempt onto the crossbar. From there, the ball lands with Nawrocki, who nods it in.

No breakthrough yet

The Hannover side are struggling even with a man advantage against the league's best defence. The visitors are still creating very little going forward and can't carve out any real chances.

xGoals

The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).

The xG stats show that Hannover are not far from scoring here.

Džeko goes in with a high boot against Chakroun. The goalscorer catches the Hannover player at chest height, which is too much for Braun, who sends the Bosnian off.

Half-time: Schalke 2-0 Hannover

Schalke were superior in almost all aspects. Hannover are mostly chasing the ball and apart from one chance in the 23rd minute, they hardly create any offensive actions. The Miners deservedly lead 2-0 as a result with goals from Džeko and Karaman.

Hannover don't really know what's happening to them. Aouchiche nutmegs Neuber on the right side, who can only stop the Schalke player with a tactical foul.

Suddenly there's space

Källman has plenty of space in the penalty area, but can't get a shot away from too tight an angle. As no one from Hannover follows up, Källman's cross ends up with the Schalke.

How will Hannover respond?

The visitors need to improve offensively. Apart from one chance, they've shown far too little so far to topple the league leaders.

31'

On the other side...

...Saad delivers a cross into the penalty area. However, Källman arrives too late and therefore doesn't get to the ball.

Out of nowhere!

That's how quickly it can happen. Nkili threads the ball through to Saad, who breaks free. The Hannover player has only Karius in front of him. Schalke's keeper makes himself big and preserves the clean sheet for the Royal Blues.

19'

Hardly any action

The visitors from the Lower Saxony state capital are currently not present at all. This is not really what Coach Titz had in mind.

16'

Good first quarter of an hour

After 15 minutes, it can be noted: Schalke are doing really well and putting Hannover under extreme pressure early on. This repeatedly leads to loss of possession.

14'

Džeko again

Same play as before. Karaman lays it off to Džeko, who tries again. This time, however, his shot sails well over the crossbar.

10'

Huge chance!

Ljubicic intercepts a misplaced pass and plays it right to Džeko, who shoots from close range. Noll has to stretch and just manages to prevent the ball from going in.

9'

The league leaders have something in mind

In the opening phase, the Miners are enjoying more of the ball. However, they don't create any clear-cut chances.

5'

First corner!

Karaman wins the first set piece of the match against his former club. Aouchiche delivers the ball from the left. In the middle, goalkeeper Noll punches the ball away.

Business as usual

Schalke of course in royal blue against the visitors from Hannover, who don their red-black striped kit.

Let's go!

Referee Braun blows the whistle on time and the ball is rolling.

Kick-off!

All is set

The players are coming onto the pitch, the anthem is playing. Just to remind you again: None of the 87 competitive matches between Schalke and Hannover has ever finished 0-0!

More on that Schalke team

Miron Muslic changes his starting XI in two positions following their 1-0 home win against Bielefeld with Karius and Katić starting ahead of Müller and Ayhan (both on the bench).

More on that Hannover team

Christian Titz makes two changes to his starting XI compared to the 2-1 defeat against Fürth. Allgeier and Nkili replace Ghita and Okon (both on the bench).

Miron Muslić on facing Hannover

"We want to implement our own style of play. Hannover are perhaps the strongest team in Bundesliga 2 in terms of play, and the best team in the second half of the season. We want to put them under pressure. We're going to go all out."

Christian Titz on facing Schalke

"For many, it's a special match because of the standings. We'll face an atmosphere that drives a team forward. We need to focus on defending well, but also gaining control with the ball and not giving the opponents too much space."

Familiar face

Kenan Karaman spent four years as a Hannover player and was relegated from the Bundesliga with them in 2016, and then immediately promoted back up.

Rare wins

Hannover have won only two of the 15 Bundesliga 2 encounters between these two, with both victories coming last season. In Gelsenkirchen, they came back from a goal down to win 2-1 late on.

Favourite opponents

Schalke have played and won against no team as often as against Hannover in Bundesliga 2 (eight victories in 15 games). They won the reverse fixture 3-0, with Moussa Sylla scoring an early brace and Christian Gomis securing the three points with his only goal in league so far.

The ultimate goal guarantee

None of the 87 competitive matches between Schalke and Hannover have ended 0-0. The Royal Blues are well ahead in the overall record (W49, L21), but Hannover did achieve a significant victory in this fixture when they were crowned champions for the first time with a 4-3 extra-time win over Schalke in 1938.
