Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Hamburger SV will be aiming to retain top position in the standings when they take on Hansa Rostock in the 2. Bundesliga round 5. HSV have been making progress week by week and it is more than obvious that they are determined to return to Bundesliga. Even though defender Guilherme Ramos is banned for the match, home win should be considered as Tim Walter has a number of high-profile footballers to choose from. Mario Vuskovic misses out through suspension as well, while both Anssi Suhonen and Noah Katterbach are sidelined with injuries.
The visitors, on the other hand, defeated Osnabruck at home on Matchday 4, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against HSV, who are a real force to be reckoned with at home. All Simon Rhein, Milosz Brzozowski, Oliver Husing, and Lukas Scherff are out of contention with injuries, speaking of the away team.
