Hoffenheim Hamburger SV betting prediction

The away team is currently in the 13^th position of the league, with 15 points won, after 4 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against VfB Stuttgart, by (2‑1). In the last match, they won in a home match against Werder Bremen, by (3‑2). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 19 goals scored and 21 conceded; against 7 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 30 goals scored and 18 conceded. Their last away match for this competition ended in a loss by (1‑0) against FC Augsburg. In the last 6 away league matches Hamburg has a record of 2 draws and 4 losses, so they have won 2 points out of 18 possible.

In this competition, they haven’t won any of the last 6 away matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. They have opened up the score in only 3 of the last 13 matches for the Bundesliga, they have reached half‑time in front in all of those 3 matches and held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in all of them. In 13 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 8 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Hamburg come into this match in high spirits after a 3-2 home win against Bremen, their second consecutive victory in the Bundesliga: the goals were scored by Yussuf Poulsen, Luka Vušković and Albert Sambi Lokonga. Merlin Polzin's side usually play in a 3-4-3 formation, favouring an attacking and well-structured style of football. Up front, Jean-Luc Dompé and Fábio Vieira offer speed and creativity on the wings, while Rayan Philippe takes on the role of target man in the box, with his physical presence and eye for goal. In midfield, Albert Sambi Lokonga is the key element in the offensive organisation, taking charge of building up play and linking the team's sectors with technical quality and vision. Nicolai Remberg is suspended for this match, while Daniel Elfadli, Robert Glatzel, Warmed Omari and Alexander Røssing-Lelesiit are injured.

Confirmed Lineup: Daniel Heuer Fernandes, Giorgi Gocholeishvili, Jordan Torunarigha, Luka Vuskovic, Miro Muheim, Albert Sambi Lokonga, Jonas Meffert, Fábio Vieira, Nicolás Capaldo, Ransford Königsdörffer, Fabio Baldé.
Coach: S. Baumgart.
