Hamburger SV seeks first win since end of November and “The Red Shorts” are once again in a serious danger, facing the 2. Bundesliga destiny after 9 games without winning. Indeed, HSV is in the relegation zone but this time not at the “fortunate” 16th position, no, Hamburger is 17th and if they don’t show improvement in the upcoming weeks this will cause their first ever Bundesliga relegation.
Bayer Leverkusen, on the other hand, pursuits one of the Champions League positions and after a surprising home defeat to Hertha BSC (0-2) last weekend, Heiko Herrlich’s men need the whole set of points if they want claiming a top 4 positioning at the expense of some other contender.
Our betting prediction is backing the away side: Bayer Leverkusen can win in Hamburg. Quality is definitely on their side with players like Leon Bailey, Julian Brandt, Kai Havertz and Kevin Volland all available.
