Team News

Hamburg
Ulm
  • Dennis Hadzikadunic picked up an injury against Darmstadt last weekend, while Sebastian Schonlau is unavailable due to a yellow card suspension.
  • With no other fit centre-backs in the roster, Merlin Polzin may be forced to deploy Silvan Hefti alongside Daniel Elfadli.
  • Jean-Luc Dompe is recovering from a short illness and is doubtful for the clash with Ulm, while Miro Muheim is expected back after missing out against Darmstadt.
  • Maurice Krattenmacher served a one-match suspension in gameweek 32, meaning he is free to return to the starting XI at the Volksparkstadion.
  • Captain Johannes Reichert remains unavailable due to a thigh injury and may have played his final game this season.
  • Aside from the return of Krattenmacher, Robert Lechleiter will likely opt for an unchanged starting line-up on Saturday.

Prediction

  • Hamburg made the most of FC Köln's slip-up against Jahn Regensburg last weekend, hammering an in-form Darmstadt side 4-0 at Merck-Stadion am Böllenfalltor following a rampant second-half showing.
  • Despite winning just one of their last four league games, HSV can seal promotion with a win on Saturday.
  • Unfortunately for Merlin Polzin, his visitors certainly won't roll over. Ulm were unable to beat a 10-man Hannover side at the Donaustadion last time out, but have won three of their previous six 2. Bundesliga fixtures and know that they need a win to keep pace with Preussen Münster in the battle for survival.
