Coach: Peter Neururer (since November 2005) Bundesliga Record: 5-4-11 Rank: 8th, 26 points Last Result: 2-1 win vs. Hamburger SV, February 8 Streak: Won 1 Next Game: at Eintracht Frankfurt, February 11 Eight games without defeat is the fine record Peter Neururer will be looking to extend in Frankfurt on Saturday. Hannover have certainly turned the corner since Neururer replaced Ewald Lienen and that was confirmed with a 2-1 win over Hamburg in midweek. Hannover were one of the pre-season dark horses for success this season and, now the former Bochum coach is in charge, their role as a challenger for a top five finish is being justified. Not only has the new coach got the team working well as a unit, he has managed to get the best out of several players who were stagnating under Lienen. Vahid Hashemian is back to his pre-Bayern-spell best while Jiri Stajner's form is keeping Thomas Christiansen and Thomas Brdaric on the sidelines. At full-back, Michael Tarnat is defying his age to stabilise the back four while Steven Cherundolo is complementing him on the right. Therefore, Neururer will not even be considering any changes to his side at the weekend as he looks for a ninth straight game without defeat and the possible reward of a place in the top five.
