SC to start--CC on the pine. No Kahn for Bayern, but don't expect Bayern to miss a beat. Elber/Pizarro/Ballack and company could run wild.
Yikes. Could be a long afternoon at the Olympiastadion. I'm guessing a 4-0, maybe 4-1, final scoreline to the home side. Any other tipsters? Cheers, William
4-2 might be a bit charitable towards Hannover-- and that's even without Oliver Kahn. But we'll see...
1-2, Stendel puts Hannover ahead. Bayern has already made two subs--out are Sagnol and Salihamidzic, in Ze Roberto and Thiam.
As last week, Cherundolo had some nice scenes in the offence and wasn't too secure in the defence. In one scene he lost an air duel against Elber who hit the post. Hannover also could have won the game, both had several shots against the bar and probably Bayern wouldn't have recovered if Idrissou shot 2 cm lower when the score was 2-1. In general it's big fun to see Hannover play. Coach Rangnick send a 4-3-3 formation to the pitch, regardless whether the opponent is Brazil, Bayern or a D10 team. Always nice to say afterwards, but I knew that the fast counter attacking forwards Idrissou and Stendel would cause lots of problems for Bayern's slow defence. Maybe their offence system costs some points over the season, but it would be a shame if they'd relegate (what I don't think will happen).
