Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Following a 2-2 draw with Hansa Rostock, Hamburger SV will be aiming to stay in top three when they take on Elversberg on Matchday 23. Die Rothosen aim to move closer to the automatic promotion berth and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Black and Whites. Both Laszlo Benes and Guilherme Ramos are banned for the match, while midfielder Ludovit Reis remains in the recovery room.
Elversberg, on the other hand, have been in a fine form of late, with the team beating both Kaiserslautern and Osnabruck, while sharing the spoils with Fortuna Dusseldorf. As Horst Steffen’s troops have suffered three defeats in the previous four away games, we believe that there is a big value in betting on HSV. The likes of Carlo Sickinger, Frederik Jakel, Kevin Conrad, Marcel Correia, and Patryk Dragon are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team.
