Hannover face Borussia Dortmund at HDI Arena on Friday, Aug. 31. Here’s all the info you need to watch online.
The Bundesliga season opened last weekend in Germany. In their first game of the season, Hannover drew 1-1 with Werder Bremen. On Saturday, Hannover host Borussia Dortmund, who are coming off of an impressive 4-1 win against RB Leipzig.
Hannover finished 13th last season after being promoted. Andre Breitenreiter’s side will likely finish in a similar position this season after doing very little to improve in the summer transfer window. The club’s biggest signing was Kevin Wimmer, who was signed from Stoke to replace Salif Sane at center-back. Niclas Fullkrug might be one of the most underrated players in the Bundesliga. The Hannover striker scored 14 goals last season, the third most by any player last season.
Lucien Favre’s first Bundesliga game in charge of Dortmund could not have got off to a worse start. Leipzig scored in the first minute of the game. However, by halftime, Dortmund were leading 3-1 and ultimately won 4-1. Marco Reus scored twice, including his 100th Bundesliga goal. After finishing fourth last season, Dortmund spent the summer revamping their midfield. Axel Witsel was signed from China and played very well in his debut and scoring a goal. If Dortmund’s midfield continues to play well, there is a chance they could challenge Bayern Munich for the Bundesliga title.
