Hamburger SV form and stats

The hosts won their first 2. Bundesliga game here at Volksparkstadion, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Hamburger SV last season were 11 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses from 17 games.

Hamburger SV are returning here after visiting Rot-Weiss Essen in a DFB Pokal game and winning with a 4-3 scoreline. Jatta, who usually plays near the opponent's goal, was the champion performer for the side in that match, scoring a rating of 8.64 (out of 10). Jatta scored two goals, hit the woodwork once and hit two key passes.

Preceding that game was the away draw at Karlsruher SC that finished 2-2.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Hamburger have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 8 games) they have won 3 times, drawn 4 and lost 1.

At Volksparkstadion, Hamburger SV has the goal stats of 5-3 (for/against) from 1 league fixture.

A loss against Wehen Wiesbaden was the result prior to that, in a 2. Bundesliga home game.
