Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Following a 1-1 draw with Munster, Elversberg will look to return to winning ways in the 2. Bundesliga when they take on Hamburger SV on Matchday 10. Elversberg have been producing fine displays of late, beating both Hertha and Kaiserslautern, while sharing the spoils with Munster, but they will have a big fish to fry against the promotion hopefuls. All Semih Sahin, Florian Le Joncour, Frederik Jakel, and Patryk Dragon miss out with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
Die Rothosen, on the other hand, are determined to return to Bundesliga after a couple of unsuccessful attempts. HSV head into Friday’s clash following back-to-back wins over Fortuna Dusseldorf and Magdeburg, but given Elversberg’s promising form, there is a big value in betting on draw. Defender Sebastian Schonlau is banned for the away team, while all Silvan Hefti, Dennis Hadzikadunic, and Robert Glatzel miss out with injuries.
