Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Expect an electrifying atmosphere at Volksparkstadion when Hamburg SV and Kaiserslautern go head to head in the 2. Bundesliga derby on Saturday afternoon. Die Rothosen failed to turn their dominance into victory in a 1-1 draw with Greuther Furth, but a triumph over Kaiserslautern could see them regain their spot in top three. Defender Guilherme Ramos is pushing for a start, while important attacker Robert Glatzel remains on the sidelines with a hip injury.
The Red Devils, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-1 loss to Fortuna Dusseldorf, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the promotion-chasing hosts. As for the visitors, all Philipp Klement, Julian Krahl, and Hendrick Zuck remain in the recovery room, while Kenny Redondo is a major doubt after limping off with injury in the DFB Pokal-final-worth triumph over Saarbrucken in midweek.
