Hamburg vs Borussia Dortmund prediction: Visitors to pull through
Key stats
- Hamburg have lost their last three Bundesliga games.
- Borussia Dortmund have won four of their last five games in all competitions.
- The visitors have kept a clean sheet in six of their last eight matches in the Bundesliga.
- Die Borussen have won three of their last four away games in the Bundesliga.
Correct score prediction: Hamburg 0-1 Borussia Dortmund
Hamburg have seen a massive drop in form since their 4-0 win over Mainz at the start of October. Since then, they have failed to win a single Bundesliga game, conceding seven goals in four games.
Many thought that Merlin Polzin's side may have turned the corner following their 1-0 win over Heidenheim in the German Cup, but it was followed by a crushing 4-1 defeat against Cologne in the Bundesliga.
On the other hand, Dortmund are heading into this match on the back of a 4-1 defeat against Manchester City in the Champions League, and they will be looking to bounce back.
Two of their last three Bundesliga games have ended in a 1-0 win for them, and that trend could continue this Saturday against Hamburg.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Dortmund are clear favourites
- HOME: 10/3 (4.33) – 23.1%
- DRAW: 16/5 (4.2) – 23.8%
- AWAY: 4/6 (1.67) – 60%
*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Hamburg have won two of their last three home games, but their recent performances have been poor, and that is why bookmakers have priced them at 10/3 (4.33), implying a 23.1% win probability.
Nico Kovac's side are third in the league with 20 points, seven behind Bayern Munich, and cannot afford to slip up more points. They have been placed at 4/6 (1.67) odds on their head – a dominant 60% chance of winning.
