Bottom three team Hannover 96 (4-10-2, 14 points) will be in for a tough time against defending champions and current Bundesliga 2015-2016 league leaders Bayern Munich (14-1-1, 43 points) as the two teams square off at the HDI-Arena on December 19th, Saturday.
Hannover dropped a close 0-1 decision to fellow bottom three squad Hoffenheim at the WIRSOL Rhein-Neckar-Arena last Saturday, as reported by ESPN.
Michael Frontzeck's men have not found the back of the net the whole match to fall on a two-game losing skid, losing four of their last five matches.
Midfielder Ceyhun Gülselam had a chance to score a goal, but his header hit the crossbar and the post before rolling out of goalkeeper Oliver Baumann's spot.
Hoffenheim winger Jonathan Schmid scored the lone goal of the match at the half-hour mark to give his team only its second win of the season.
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich successfully bounced back from their humiliating loss last week to Borussia Monchengladbach, blanking newly-promoted club Ingolstadt, 2-0, at the Allianz Arena also last Saturday, via SkySports.
The game was scoreless in the first half as both teams held on their defenses. Bayern is in danger of being winless for the second consecutive match until striker Robert Lewandowski broke the goalless game with a strike at the 65th minute.
Team captain Philipp Lahm sealed the win for Pep Guardiola's boys with a goal at the 75th for the Bavarians' 14th win of the season.
The prediction is a 4-0 blowout win for Bayern Munich.
Hannover 96 starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Zieler; Sakai, Marcelo, Schulz, Albornoz; Gulselam, Sane; Karaman, Andreasen, Prib; Saint-Maximin
Bayern Munich starting lineup (4-1-4-1 formation): Neuer; Lahm, Boateng, Badstuber, Rafinha; Vidal; Kimmich, Müller, Martinez, Coman; Lewandowski
