WDLDLL

Hamburg will be looking to improve on their last outing here after the 3-1 Bundesliga defeat in their last game at the hands of Werder Bremen.

In that match, Hamburg had 43% possession and 11 shots on goal with 3 of them on target. The only player to score for Hamburg was Robert Glatzel (41'). Werder Bremen got 18 attempts on goal with 10 on target. Jens Stage (37', 57') and Cameron Puertas (91') scored for Werder Bremen.

Hamburg have not been the best at stopping their opponents recently, but they have also done enough to hit the back of the net themselves. Over their last 6 matches, Hamburg have been punished defensively in 6 of them as well as getting on the scoresheet in 5 of those games. Still, time will tell whether such a trend shall continue on in this next game or not.

Taking a look at their past results, Hamburg:

• have not beaten Hoffenheim in their last 2 league matches.
• are undefeated in their last 2 league matches at home.
• have not won at home in their last 4 league games. Their supporters are understandably frustrated.
