Energie Cottbus vs Hannover 96 Prediction

Our pick for Energie Cottbus vs Hannover 96 in Pokal is Under 2.5 goals, with 60% confidence. Recent form: 5 of Energie Cottbus's last 5 games went over 2.5 goals (4.6 goals per game in total), against 1 of 5 for Hannover 96 (2.0 per game). Form on its own doesn't settle this one: 4 of the 10 recent games went under 2.5, which is worth keeping in mind before backing Under 2.5.

The two sides haven't met recently, so head-to-head history plays no part in this call. At 60%, the recent numbers lean this way, but not strongly. Final score: 1-0. The pick won.
