Hannover will hope to translate their pre-season form into instant success when they start the 2026-27 2. Bundesliga campaign with a matchday one trip to Energie Cottbus. This match at LEAG Energie Stadion between the ‘Crayfishes’ and the ‘Reds’ is likely to be an entertaining game with our prediction backing over 2.5 goals.
Energie earned promotion from the third division last year by finishing second with 72 points (W21, D9, L8). Hannover finished fourth in the 2. Bundesliga last year (W16, D12, L6) with 60 points and just two points behind the promotion play-off spots.
It wasn’t a fruitful experience in the friendlies for Energie, who ended with four defeats in their last five matches (W1). With opponents ranging from Salzburg to Werder Bremen, the hosts need to quickly regroup and improve on matchday one.
They need to translate last season’s success to this year to have any hopes, as Energie finished with four wins from their last five league games (L1).
Hannover won each of their four pre-season friendlies, scoring 16 goals in total. They would be determined to stay in contention for promotion, having missed the playoffs by a whisker last season. Four draws from their last five league games (W1) dampened their hopes, but they had five wins from their last seven league trips (D2).

Our Energie Cottbus vs Hannover 96 Prediction
Energie will look to get their season up and running with a home win, but recent form hasn’t been promising. Four defeats from their last five friendlies (W1) were a precursor to the tough assignments that await them. Hannover had a smooth run in the friendlies and may be the better side on paper coming into this game.
This is the first league encounter between these sides since facing each other in the Bundesliga in the 2008-09 campaign. It could be full of goals based on recent form, and our Energie Cottbus vs Hannover 96 prediction is more than 2.5 goals.
