Elversberg take on the visitors Hamburger in the round 6 match of German 2.Bundesliga. The match will be played on Saturday, September 16th at Waldstadion Kaiserlinde (Spiesen-Elversberg)
After five played rounds, Elversberg have only accumulated four points and is teetering on the edge of the relegation zone, currently occupying the 15th position. The newcomer to the Second Bundesliga started the championship with a draw against Hannover (2-2), lost to Hansa Rostock (1-2), Kaiserslautern (2-3), and Fortuna Düsseldorf (0-5), but finally secured a long-awaited victory in the last round against another newcomer, Osnabrück (1-0). Interestingly, all of their points were earned away from home, while they suffered two defeats on their home turf.

Hamburg, with 13 points, is the sole leader in the 2. Bundesliga table. The Dinosaurs are looking very confident at the start of the season, having secured victories against teams like Schalke (5-3), Hertha Berlin (3-0), Hannover (1-0), Hansa Rostock (2-0), and only once dropped points in a match against Karlsruher (2-2). In the current season, Hamburg have shown a variety of playing styles, from exciting and entertaining to quite pragmatic. Another remarkable fact is that under Tim Walter's guidance, they haven't conceded a goal in the last 270 minutes of play, which is unusual for the City in recent seasons.
It's uncertain how the break for international matches will affect the teams, but it's evident that Hamburg are the favorite in the upcoming battle regardless of the circumstances. If form can be somewhat lost over two weeks, class and experience are less likely to fade away, and they are firmly on the side of the visiting team. In this case, I will try to be cautious and opt for Hamburg not to lose, but I also expect to see a quite high-scoring match since both teams have adopted an attacking style this season. Prediction: X2 + Over 2.5 goals.
Prediction for the match: Hamburger not to lose and Over 2.5 scored goals.
