BVB come into this match at the back of a convincing 3-1 win over Stuttgart and will be hoping to build upon it. Marco Reus recorded his second goal in three games with Aubameyang involved in the build up. The Gabon international then got on the score sheet himself with Henrikh Mkhitaryan adding a third to ensure a victory for Thomas Tuchel's men.
The German tactician expressed his delight over the result and had words of praise for his talismanic playmaker Marco Reus.
Reus has had another injury savaged season but has still managed to score 15 times this season and his manager is hopeful that his star man can keep his injury woes behind him.
"I said we want to convert him into a monster because he can be a monster on the field," said Tuchel.
"Marco is a sensitive and creative player who needs to feel free, which means he shouldn't have to worry about his body all the time. We are working on this.
"It is remarkable how focused he is, how clear and confident he is, how much punch and danger he can represent and how smartly he uses spaces.
"But it is important that we don't expect too much too early. We absolutely want to get him through the season without further injuries.
"He is on a good path also mentally. The way he trains, how alert he is and how he presents himself within the team and how he gives everything.
"Like I said, he can be a monster, become a monster. He is doing everything for this. So I am very happy and absolutely convinced that he will reach this point."
Hannover on the other hand come into this match at the back of four consecutive defeats. They were at the receiving end of a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Tuchel's former club Mainz last time out and the German tactician would be hoping to heap further misery on them.
