Hamburger SV take on the visitors RB Leipzig at “Volksparkstadion” in the opening clash of the gameweek three of the German Bundesliga. The match will be played in Hamburg on Friday, September 8th.
In recent years, Hamburger SV have been usually fighting for a place in the German elite division till the very last rounds. “Der Dino” entered the current season with 1:3 defeat to VfL Osnabruck at the first stage of the DFB Pokal. Markus Gisdol’s side was seemed to go through another season full of miseries, however, Hamburger SV won both starting battle against FC Augsburg 1:0 and FC Koln 3:1 in the Bundesliga. After two gameweeks the team stays among four clubs of the Bundesliga which have not lost points in this season yet. In 2017 “Der Dino” conducted 12 encounters in face of its supporters resulting in eight triumphs, two draws and two losses.

RB Leipzig concluded two deals on the eve of the transfer window closing, having sold Oliver Burke for 16.6 million EUR to West Bromwich and engaged Kevin Kampl from Bayer Leverkusen for 20 million EUR. With two matchdays in the German elite division behind, “Die Roten Bullen” have three points earned after 0:2 defeat to Schalke 04 in the first round and lopsided home victory over SC Freiburg with 5:0 scoreline. In 2017 RB Leipzig participated in 10 clashes on the road, having got four victories, a draw and three losses in them.
Hamburger SV and RB Leipzig met twice in their history, having swopped by the runaway home wins 4:0 and 3:0 respectively in the previous season. On the eve of the Friday fight the bookmakers choose the hosts as the favourites of the game, still, I presume that Hamburger SV which had have a successful start in the new season’s Bundesliga are quite able to gain some points in face of their fans and even in the case a failure, the margin will be slim.
Prediction for the match: Hamburger SV to win with +1.0 Asian handicap.
