Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Hamburg
Match Time & Date:
23/11/2024
20:30
Prediction: 1-1
Schalke
All eyes will be on Volksparkstadion when Hamburger SV and Schalke 04 go head to head in the 2. Bundesliga derby. Die Rothosen suffered a dip in form, failing to win the last three league matches, but they are still seen as favourites to beat die Knappen at home ground. Bear in mind, though, that HSV key attacker Robert Glatzel remains in the recovery room alongside Ludovit Reis and Valon Zumberi.
Schalke, on the other hand, proved their worth in a 2-0 win over Regensburg before the international break and given HSV’s poor form in the German second tier, we predict that the visitors are going to grab something from Saturday’s clash. All Adrian Gantebein, Bryan Lasme, and Erik Hojlund are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team, while midfielder Janik Bachmann is pushing for a recall to the starting eleven.
