Hamburger SV takes on the visitors Hertha Berlin in the second leg of German Bundesliga relegation playoffs. The result of the first leg: 1-0. The match will be played on Monday, May 23rd at Volksparkstadion (Hamburg).
Hamburger have the status of one of the legends of German football. 6 league titles, 3 cups, participation in the finals of all European competitions (except for the newly created Conference League). The hosts have won both the Cup Winners' Cup and the European Cup. True, a long time ago, decades ago. But for a long time, it was possible to maintain the unique status of the team, which constantly plays exclusively in Bundesliga 1. But the gradual regression quite logically ended in relegation in 2018. It seemed that such a team would not stay in the 2nd division. But she disappointed there from year to year, finishing in 4th position. The season was saved with the final spurt with 4 victories of Tim Walter's wards. This allowed us to climb to the 3rd final position and made it possible to try to earn promotion through the playoffs.

At the finish line, the Old Lady lost twice, to Mainz and Borussia Dortmund, with an identical score of 1-2. Each time the capital club conceded the decisive goal after the 80th minute, losing hope for points. At the same time, the competitor, Stuttgart, made a desperate breakthrough: they did not lose to Bayern on the road and defeated Cologne. Endo was a real savior, scoring 2-1 in the 92nd minute. Having caught up on points, the Swabians were ahead of Hertha in additional indicators. So, Hertha slipped to 16th place and went to the playoffs. In Berlin, in the first game, they lost again - is there any faith in the final success?
The last time the sides played each other was in the 2017/2018 Bundesliga. Then Hertha was able to win both matches with an identical score of 2-1. Bookmakers believe that Hamburg can win. But the right to play in Bundesliga 1 is at stake, and the hosts are satisfied with a draw. We insure ourselves with a nil handicap.
Prediction for the match: Hamburger to win with 0.0 handicap.
