Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Ulm will try to claim a major scalp in the 2. Bundesliga round 16 when they take on Hamburger SV on Saturday. Ulm are determined to escape the relegation zone and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against die Rothosen. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Semir Telalovic, who has found his goal-scoring touch of late, while the likes of Niklas Kolle, Laurin Ulrich, Lennart Stoll, and Thomas Geyer remain on the sidelines with injuries.
Hamburger SV, on the other hand, aim to move closer to the playoffs berth and even though key attacker Robert Glatzel remains in the treatment room, away win should be considered. Hamburger SV are more of a team than Ulm and we predict that they are going to take advantage of the home team’s shaky defence. In their last meeting at Donaustadion, back in 1999, Hamburger defeated Ulm 2-1.
