Hamburger take on the visitors Bayer Leverkusen in the round 19 match of German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Friday, February 3rd at Volksparkstadion (Hamburg).
Hamburger have poor start of year 2017 as the team recorded two defeats in two matches, 0-1 against Wolfsburg and 1-3 against Ingolstadt. As the result, the team moved down to relegation zone on 17th place in the league of 18 teams with only 13 points gained.

Bayer still show inconsistent results. The first match after winter break ended with 3-1 win over strong Hertha Berlin. The team had 2-0 lead in following match against Monchengladbach side but managed to lose that one, 2-3, completely failing the second half. Such inconsistent result put the team only on ninth place in the league with 24 points. Leverkusen side is currently seven points behind top-4. Bayer played eight matches on the road and gained 10 points in them, scoring 11 goals and allowing 12.
Bayer are quite successful in recent head-to-heads against Hamburger, avoiding defeats for four matches in a row and taking three wins, including 3-1 in the reverse fixture played earlier this season. We should expect the visiting side to avoid defeat in clash with Hamburger for fifth time in a row as the hosts don’t look competitive at the moment.
Prediction for the match: Bayer to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
