The second Sunday match, which marks the end of the next round, will be the match between Hamburger SV and Hertha BSC Berlin on Sunday. While the landlords are scoring points in the relegation campaign, the guests from the capital are going to be important counters in the battle for Europe. The kick-off of the meeting is on March 5 at 17:30.
Current Form Hamburger SV
It seemed as if the Bundesliga-Dino felt an upward trend. After all, teams like Leverkusen or Leipzig were defeated, and the team from Markus Gisdol retained the upper hand in the cup against Cologne. What followed last weekend was nothing more than a puzzling ear. Against Bayern Munich the HSV came 0: 8 under the wheels. Offensive, harmless, only a single time in 90 minutes shot at the gate of the opponent, defensively phase-wise. Well, there is not much time to think, because during the week, the cup duel against Gladbach is on the agenda. However, you have less time to prepare for the match against Hertha. Ebendiese, however, would probably be necessary, not only to get the debacle from the minds of the players, but also to analyze errors of the first leg in Berlin when the HSV had to drive home with a 0: 2. After all, in the last five home games there were three victories and two draws for the Gizdol elite, so none of these matches were lost, Kyriakos Papadopoulos could also be back on Sunday, an important building block of success over the past few weeks. However: Alone against Bayern Munich, the HSV has scored more hits than in all previous round matches before. In the last five games against the Berliners, only a single victory was won, the other direct duels were all lost. After all, the HSV is above all defensive at home more stable, one has nevertheless more than half of the previous 45 contenders conceded abroad.
Current Form Hertha BSC Berlin
The Berliners are in a way the opposite of Sonntagsgegner Hamburg. While the North Germans knew how to convince in the first games of the previous round, the capital cities succeeded in the last two matches. The initial firing should have been the 1: 1 against FC Bayern Munich, with which one only in the last second conceded the decisive contender. The second full success in the calendar year 2017 followed with a 2-0 win against Eintracht Frankfurt. However, both this victory and the former against FC Ingolstadt came at home, which makes us one of the biggest weaknesses of the Berliners. The Hertha can only celebrate two seasons away, and the last match was against the VFL Wolfsburg (3: 2) on 3 December of the previous year. Hope can be against a last harmless HSV offensive on its own stability in the defense. With 24 contenders, Berlin has conceded only two loss goals more than the table range from Leipzig. In the victory against Frankfurt, they were already conceded for the eighth time this season without conceding. You can also hope again on goals of Vedad Ibisevic. The Bosnian should have broken the 1: 1 in Munich the knot again, he let Frankfurt his next Saisontor, the tenth overall follow. Ondrej Duda also celebrated his long-awaited debut at the Hertha-Dress. Coach Dardai, on the other hand, has to go on to Mitchell Weiser and Sinan Kurt, and Julian Schieber is also currently injured. For the latter the season should already be prematurely ended.
Betting forecast
For the HSV, it is mainly about selling properly after the bankruptcy in Munich. Although we do not expect a new debacle, however, doubts and increasing form of the opponent are likely to make the Bundesliga Dino a dash through the winning bills
Prediction: Hamburger win
Odds: 2.30
