Late for Bielefeld! At the first really good chance of the game, the guests from Ostwestfalen are unlucky, because Okugawa, who goes really well into the strong cross from the left half-field, heaves the header from six meters only to the lower edge of the crossbar, from which the leather jumps back into the field. Lucky for the Lower Saxony!

Leopold takes a free kick from the center half right up into the box, where Neumann runs free. He then lays his head down for Kunze, but his shot from the back is blocked.

Okugawa penetrates the left of the penalty area with the ball at his foot and only has Neumann in front of him. But instead of firing a shot at goal or serving one of the two freed teammates, the Japanese gets stuck on Neumann.

The Reds are visibly withdrawing and are waiting for further counterattacks against more bold Arminen. Bielefeld does not run into the open knife. The Blues instead play very patiently.

Bielefeld loses the ball and Hannover comes into the switching game. Kunze then comes to an end from the back room, but he clearly misses the guest goal.

A quarter of an hour has passed. Although the East Westphalians are slowly but surely thawing out, the leadership of the Hanoverians is well deserved. The hosts have everything under control so far.

Now the blue come to the first conclusion of the game. Masaya Okugawa can no longer use the pass cleanly in the sixteen. However, the ball only just misses the 96er’s goal on the right.

Teuchert penetrates into the box on the left, but Vasiliadis defends this advance resolutely and resolutely, so that there is even a kick for the East Westphalians.

Yellow card for Fabian Kunze (Hannover 96)
Kunze picks up the first yellow card, which is absolutely unnecessary. After a duel with Vasiliadis, which the referee whistles for Bielefeld, the 24-year-old simply kicks the ball away.

Only the reds continue to play, who are now playing out the third big chance. After a strong diagonal ball, António Fóti went through on the right and took measure from the edge of the penalty area to the far corner. The ball rushes delicately past the post. Kick off Bielefeld.

The Arminen doesn’t fit too much and the current tail light almost catches the next goal. After a high ball into the box, Börner is completely free and could do it directly from six meters on the left. Instead, he puts his head across the center, but misses his teammates with the unclean ball, to the dizziness of the guests.

Tooor for Hannover 96, 1:0 by Cedric Teuchert
The 96ers press from the start and reward themselves with the early goal to make it 1-0. Teuchert initiates his own goal by pulling in from the left wing and playing to Nielsen in the box. With his back to the goal, Nielsen humorlessly bounces for Teuchert, who has a lot of space from 14 meters and sinks the ball with great precision in the bottom right corner. Nothing to do for Fraisl.

20:34
Kunze goes deep and Nielsen forwards elegantly with a heel into Teuchert’s run. In a duel with Andrade, he puts the ball a bit too far in front of him and can no longer reach the ball before the baseline. Kick off Bielefeld.

Kick-off in the Heinz von Heiden Arena. The hosts play in red jerseys over black shorts. The guests from East Westphalia are dressed all in white. Here we go.
20:01
There have been a total of 39 encounters between the two teams so far and Bielefeld leads the direct comparison with 16 wins (ten draws, 13 defeats). Especially in the recent past, the duel was clearly in the hands of the Blues, who have only lost one of their last twelve competitive games against Hannover (five wins, six draws) and have since November 2000 been unbeaten in nine guest appearances with Lower Saxony (three wins, six Draw).
19:54
Most recently, Arminia lost 2-1 at home against Karlsruher SC. As a result, the blues hardly leave a stone unturned. Daniel Scherning is making six changes today: Okugawa, Gebauer, Rzatkowski, Lepinjica, Andrade and Bello replace Ramos, Lasme, Consbruch, Kanurić (all four benches), Jäkel (concussion) and Oczipka (muscular problems).
19:48
Arminia Bielefeld started the 2022/23 season with four defeats in a row. After the East Westphalians then caught up temporarily, the form curve recently showed downhill again. Daniel Scherning’s team only scored four out of a possible 15 points in the last five games. The Bundesliga relegated team still holds the Red Lantern, but could still climb to 16th place with an away win in Hanover.
19:42
Last weekend Hannover suffered a 2-1 defeat at 1. FC Heidenheim. Coach Stefan Leitl reacted to this today with four changes to his starting eleven: Fabian Kunze, Louis Schaub, Cedric Teuchert and António Fóti move into the team for Maximilian Beier, Max Besuschkow, Sebastian Kerk (all three benches) and Luka Krajnc (suspended).
19:36
Hannover 96 is basically in a good position with 17 out of a possible 33 points, but recently lost two league games in a row for the first time since March 2022. In the last two games alone, the Reds have recorded as many defeats as in the nine previous league games.
19:30
Good evening and welcome from the Heinz von Heiden Arena. Hannover 96 will host Arminia Bielefeld here today at 8:30 p.m. as part of the twelfth matchday of the 2nd Bundesliga.
