Hamburger SV - Borussia Dortmund predictions

Hamburger SV managing to pull off a victory here would be quite the upset. They are definitely underdogs, so even the home-field advantage isn’t able to push the odds lower than 4.54 for a home win.

The odds are clearly leaning in the away team’s favour, though the difference is by no means insurmountable. Hamburger SV will have to give their all to come out on top, though, while Borussia Dortmund merely have to make sure not to make major mistakes.

The home side is eager to bounce back from the latest Bundesliga disappointment. Hamburger SV suffered a disappointing Köln away defeat last time out and will be keen to bounce back asap. This match exposed all of their weaknesses right from the start and they need to avoid the same thing happening on Saturday.

The away team are coming off of a straightforward and relatively easy victory at Augsburg. The 1.67 betting odds were decidedly in their favour, so it seems the home-field disadvantage wasn’t a difficult obstacle to overcome - Borussia D. were leading throughout the proceedings, even though the final goal difference wasn’t that impressive.

Hamburger SV’s recent performances have raised some questions about their defence. They conceded 7 goals throughout their latest three Bundesliga matches and betting on Over 4.5 seems like a reasonable option.

Win or lose, Team from Dortmund always seem to at least get their name on the score board. They scored at least once in 7 consecutive matches leading up to this one.

The home team will be looking to stay afloat and out of the relegation zone, though tough matches like this one will only make that harder. To be fair, though, the season just barely started, so they may climb up the ladder yet.

With a solid 3rd position in the standings, Team from Dortmund still have a good shot at the championship title. They are likely to at least keep their current spot in the short term, but most of the season is yet to be played.

Both teams will have a complete lineup for an exciting showdown, thanks to the absence of injuries or suspensions.

For better or worse, the Under 3.5 Goals is possible the best course of action for this match. It’s not exactly an exciting offer and the returns can’t be called amazing, but the value is strong enough to warrant a quick punt.
