Team News

Hamburger SV
  • If Jaroslav Drobny does not recover from a hand injury in time, Sven Neuhaus could replace him in goal.
  • Dennis Diekmeier and Jacopo Sala are both injured, meaning Jeffrey Bruma could start at right-back.
  • Ivo Ilicevic and Gökhan Töre compete for the spot on the right wing.
  • Marcus Berg will get another chance to start alongside Mladen Petric.
Bayer Leverkusen
  • Sami Hyypiä will make his debut as Leverkusen manager.
  • Michael Ballack and Rene Adler return from injury and could be back in the squad.
  • Vedran Corluka is still injured and could be replaced by Gonzalo Castro this time.
  • Simon Rolfes could replace the injured Lars Bender in defensive midfield.

Prediction

  • Hamburg have regained confidence after an important win against Kaiserslautern last weekend. They are still deep in a relegation battle, but are highly motivated to get a result against a struggling Leverkusen side.
  • After the sacking of manager Dutt, Sami Hyypiä takes over until the end of the season. He needs to give his team some confidence and stability to finally get a result after four losses in a row.
  • Expect this to become an intense game. Both teams desperately need points to reach their respective targets.
