Lotte vs Hansa Rostock (Asian Handicap) prediction

Sportfreunde Lotte welcomes Hansa Rostock in round 26 of the 3.Liga. I speculate the home side will not have it easy today and that Hansa can even take full points. The hosts are in better form lately but their schedule is really tight. Just 3 days ago Lotte played a postponed home match with Chemnitzer and won 3:0. Today they play with Hansa and in 3 days time a really big match against Borussia. It will be a match of the quarter -finals of the DFB cup and certainly not the kind Lotte plays often. I just think their minds might wander today. Lotte is the fifth team in the league with 37 points and 11-4-9 so far. It is quite strange that they are so high on the table with such poor results and even at home they have 5-2-5. It just goes to show anybody and can beat anyone in this league. Lately Lotte picked up good points on the travels but lost 3 of the last 4 home matches. Some were before the break but they also lost to Bremen II after the break. Hansa Rostock is lingering in the middle of the table on 11`th place but only 5 points from the relegation places. They are also just 6 points from the promotion places so there is plenty to play for. Hansa is having a mediocre season and though they have one of the better defenses in the league the attack is not the best. There is just to many draws when Hansa plays. The stats are better on the travels though and Hansa has 4-6-2 away from home. They are just one of few teams to have 2 away losses all season long. In the start of the league Hansa proved to be dangerous against the best sides as they won over Duisburg and drew with Magdeburg. The form of Hansa isn`t great with 1-4-1 in the lat 6 matches. Hansa Rostock will miss for today:Henn(def.23-1), Gebhart(mid.8-4), Ziemer(att.20-3), Janicke(mid.20-2). Lotte is without:Wendel(mid.22-2), Rahn(def.13-0), Gorschluter(mid.11-0). There is a possibility some players will be given a rest. Even without some important players missing for Hansa I think they can make this game more interesting than the odds suggest. With Borussia in mind I don`t expect Sportfreunde Lotte players to give it all today.
