Hamburger SV form and stats

Hamburger participated in DFB Pokal the last season, where they reached the 1st round.

Hamburger SV have played 13 2. Bundesliga games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 6-6-1 (wins-draws-losses).

The Hamburger SV crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 2-3 to Werder Bremen here at Volksparkstadion. Jatta, who usually plays near the opponent's goal, was the champion player for the team in that match, collecting a rating of 7.42 (out of 10). Jatta hit three key passes, dribled past the opponent 5 of 8 times and had 39 successful passes (of 48 total).

A 1-1 draw away in the 2. Bundesliga before that, with Sandhausen the opponent.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Hamburger SV's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played six games, won two matches, drawn two and lost two.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Hamburger as they are travelling to their away game against Nurnberg in the 2. Bundesliga. That match is three days after this one.

14 goals have been conceded.
