Hamburger SV – RB Leipzig PREDICTION & TIPS
Hamburger SV
It is the best season start of the Hamburger SV in the last seven years. Six points from two games – and in Hamburg you start to dream. A bit of dreaming is probably also allowed if you look at the previous opponents of the North Germans. If a home match against Augsburg (1: 0) can still be regarded as a completely solvable task, the situation is completely different with an away match in Cologne. Markus Gisdol’s team also won 3: 1. What is particularly striking is the fact that one – in the case of a comparison between these two games – in Hamburg this season is probably mainly to switch quickly. For both against Augsburg and against Cologne, the HSV did not even 40 percent ball possession before, made from the available play shares but very much. Especially against the team of Peter Stöger also a playfully more convincing performance, also made accordingly more operation and showed itself at the gate unusual cold-snappy. Four shots on the goal of the Cologne were recorded in the 90 minutes, three of them found the way to their goal. Values of which the HSV could only dream in both the number of shots as well as the number of goals in the preseason. By comparison, 2016/2017 lasted until the 20th (!) Day in the case of the HSV, before the first time they were allowed to cheer over so many hits in a game. The opponent then: Exactly, RB Leipzig. However, it was also the men of Ralph Hasenhüttl, who gave the Hamburgers one of three season finals of the previous year, which scored four or more goals difference. Impressive: Against Cologne you had to act with a man less than half an hour, but the team struggled victoriously and could finally fix the victory. This compact team performance is also currently the largest strength of the Hamburgers. Markus Gisdol seems to have succeeded in shaping the many individual co-workers into a team that is not unsettled by setbacks such as the Pokalpleite against Osnabrück. There is still a lot of air in the air, a new weapon has been discovered in standard situations. With Hunt, Mavraj and Müller fall early in the season however in all formations – whether midfield, defense or attack – important players, which can be especially against a strong opponent such as Leipzig effect.
RB Leipzig
There can be no question of a dream start at last year’s Vizemeister. And yet the team of Ralph Hasenhüttl saved themselves from the misery against Freiburg after the patzer against Schalke (0: 2) against Freiburg. Especially the morale of the team can be emphasized here, because in the first home game of the season one turned back into a sovereign victory. Accordingly, the coach also spoke of a success which was enormously important, above all in a mental sense. We are also looking forward to Friday’s benefits for the East Germans, as Leipzig has a huge class in the game, with Werner and Forsberg being the only players to get back on the field. Above all, Timo Werner is prepared to play a weighty role in the fight for the goalkeeper crown. After his two-pack against Freiburg, he also scored for the national team against the Czech Republic and Norway. Not to be despised is also a last minute new entry of the “bulls”. Kevin Kampl has been compelled by Leverkusen, can play in the midfield for even more playful class, which is especially against lower-ranking opponents like the HSV is certainly no disadvantage. In Leipzig’s opinion, a flatter is the fact that we have to play the first round of the Champions League next week. After all, the RB players were not able to cope with such a high load, and the international debut is sure to make a good figure. It will be shown whether this is already at the expense of the league day. The fact that Kampl’s commitment can still be important was shown by the match against Schalke (0: 2), where Leipzig took the lead, but could hardly do anything against the compact defensive of the “squires”. Jean-Kevin Augustin has already proved his worth with two draws against Freiburg, could create a kind of dream storm together with Werner. Leipzig is also well-known for its fast switch-over game, which is probably synonymous with the HSV before problems. However, the Saxons with Sabitzer and Poulsen two players are missing out, and would also be spared a timely fit with a view to the Champions League.
