Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Hamburger will look to recover from a 1-0 loss to Hannover when they take on Preussen Munster in the 2. Bundesliga round 4. Die Rothosen are eyeing automatic Bundesliga promotion, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to meet the goal. Fit-again striker Robert Glatzel is pushing for his first start of the season, while defender Sebastian Schonlau misses out through suspension. Both Bakery Jatta and Valon Zumberi are sidelined with injuries.
The newcomers, on the other hand, do not seem to be competitive at this level, with the team losing to both Greuther Furth and Kaiserslautern, while sharing the spoils with Hannover. As over the years HSV have turned their Volksparkstadion into a real fortress, we predict that the visitors are going to return home with their hands empty. Both Malik Batmaz and Sebastian Mrowca are sidelined with injuries for the away team.
