Hamburger SV welcome the visitors SG Dynamo Dresden in the 2.Bundesliga – Round 21. The match will be held on Monday, February, 11th, at the Volksparkstadion (Hamburg).
Hamburger SV’s inconsistent start to the campaign resulted in the 5th place as of October and the change of the general manager. Titz was replaced by Wolf, who led Stuttgart back to the Bundesliga. The new boss managed to revive the team and bring them to top tiers. Wolf’s men’s present consistency is amazing. Under his stewardship, Hamburger attain 2.33 points per game on average. Compare, for example, Titz’ 1.73 goals. The hosts’ breakaway from the pursuers is minimal though, therefore, it is still not the time to relax. On Tuesday, they had no troubles against Nurnberg in the Cup encounter, thus proving that they can compete in different tournaments.

Going by Hamburger’s law transferring activity in winter, their manager is totally fine with the squad that he inherited. Only Ozcan was taken on loan, Wolf knows him by Stuttgart. The Turkish player is expected to fill in the defense gap that emerged after Hunt’s injury. Apart from the captain, Papadopoulos, Ambrosius, Samperio, and Hwang are injured. The main Hamburger’s loss is disqualification of the right back Sakai, who competed in all league’s fixtures. The hosts’ loss to Arminia Bielefeld in the last round is mainly attributed to this man’s dismissal. Most likely, Jonas or Pfeifer will play on the right wing.
SG Dynamo Dresden have also changed the manager along the season. Notably, they did it yet in September. In contrast to Hamburger’s story, the appointment of the new boss did not save the team. Under the new guidance, Dynamo attain a little over than 1 point per game, as a result, they are just 12th in the standings. The visitors lost in 4 of 5 previous rounds, which suggests the team’s crisis. Dynamo also have squad issues. Two attacking players, Moschl and Roser, are injured. More serious is the loss of the left halfback Heise, who left to Norwich City. Without his help, Dresden allowed 4 goals in the last 2 matches, 2 of these were netted yet from the left.
By the financial status, only Koln can compete with the hosts in the second division. The other 2.Bundesliga sides cannot boast even a slightly similar squad. Thus, no matter where the clash is held, Hamburger are always considered clear favorites, and the coming encounter is not an exception. The visitors have very little chance to attain any points tonight, only the hosts’ own mistakes can prevent them from winning.
Prediction for the match: Hamburger SV to win home.
