It's a fresh Bundesliga Play-offs campaign and Hamburger SV are itching to get competitive here at Volksparkstadion. Hertha BSC are visiting and this should be a gripping season opening night.

It's no vacation for neither Hamburger nor Hertha BSC as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
