Team News

  • Jeffrey Bruma is injured and will most likely be replaced by Slobodan Rajkovic.
  • David Jaroilim, Robert Tesche and Gojko Kacar compete for a spot in central midfield.
  • Jacopo Sala could get another chance in the starting line-up, after a good performance against Hertha last weekend.
  • With Daniel van Buyten injured and Rafinha suspended, Jerome Boateng will most likely start at right-back, meaning either Luiz Gustavo or Anatoliy Tymoshchuk has to start at centre-back.
  • Otherwise, manager Heynckes could field an unchanged XI.

Prediction

  • After a disappointing home defeat against Dortmund two weeks ago, Hamburg regained some confidence with an away win at Hertha last weekend. It remains to be seen how the defence will be able to deal with Bayern's attack though.
  • Bayern are not in their best form at the moment and they struggle with teams who defend deep and wait for their chances on the break. Their immense quality in attack can make the difference at any stage in any game though.
  • Expect Hamburg to defend deep and to wait patiently more for chances than they did against Dortmund. Bayern will dominate possession and should be clear favourites to win.
  • PREDICTION: Bayern win 3-1

  • I really don't see Hamburger breaking down that defence...

  • Bayern won't want to lose their grip on 1st place, so a win is a must with 3 teams all very close by!

  • Gomez should be able to poach another few goals, he's been incredible so far

  • Tore is a big loss for the home team

  • If Robbery are playing to their best then I think Gomez could be in for a brace at the least tomorrow
