Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Schalke 04
Match Time & Date:
23/07/2021
20:30
Prediction: 1-1
Hamburg
Schalke 04 and Hamburger SV, the two old rivals, go head to head at Veltins Arena in the opening match of the new 2. Bundesliga campaign. Die Knappen failed to impress in the 2020/21 Bundesliga campaign, and, as a result, they dropped to the German second tier. Former HSV player Simon Terodde, who joined the Veltins Arena outfit in the summer, is likely to prove a handful for his former teammates. It has to be noted that Schalke defeated Vitesse 3-2 in their last warm-up game.
Die Rothosen, on the other hand, are on a quest to return to the German top flight, but beating Schalke in Gelsenkirchen is easier said than done. A close encounter is on the cards in the 2. Bundesliga derby, and we are tempted to put our money on draw. HSV new signing Robert Glatzel is likely to make his debut against die Knappen.
