18:00
Prediction: 3-1
Hamburg
A spot in the DFB Pokal last 16 will be at stake when Leipzig and Hamburger SV face each other at Red Bull Arena on Tuesday evening. The Red Bulls have found their form of late, with the team winning four of their last five games in all competitions, and they must be high on spirits following a 3-2 win over Hertha Berlin. Timo Werner is a major doubt after missing the last league match through illness, while all Gulacsi, Klostermann, Laimer, and Olmo should miss out through injuries.
Die Rothosen, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-0 defeat to St. Pauli in the Hamburg derby, which is probably the main reason why home win should be considered. All Tim Leibold, Omar Megeed, and Ogechika Heil are sidelined with injuries for the visiting side.
