Hamburg vs. Frankfurt: Preview, Prediction & Betting Tips

This betting preview contains recent form, possible lineups, injury news, match predictions and betting tips for Hamburg vs. Frankfurt.

Betting Preview:

Fixture: Hamburg vs. Frankfurt Venue: Volksparkstadion, Hamburg Date: Friday 21st October Kick-off: 19:30 Although Hamburg ended a run of five straight losses last weekend against Gladbach, they are yet to taste victory in the 2016/17 Bundesliga campaign as they prepare to face Frankfurt. This will be their fourth attempt to upset the odds on home soil, but having scored just once in the fantastically named Volksparkstadion this season, Frankfurt are the obvious favourites. With 7th placed Mainz coming up against Schalke on the back of Europa League duty, it is the perfect opportunity for 8th placed Frankfurt to leapfrog them and maybe even sneak into the top six. Off the back of an impressive 2-2 draw against Bayern Munich, and the fact they are unbeaten in their last eight encounters versus Hamburg, they will be motivated and confident of winning on their travels.

Possible Lineups:

Hamburg: Adler; Diekmeier Spahic Ekdal Santos; Sakai Jung; Muller Halilovic Kostic; Wood Frankfurt: Hradecky; Chandler Abraham Vallejo Oczipka; Fabian Hasebe Mascarell Rebic; Seferovic Meier

Injuries: 

Hamburg: Out: Cleber Reis (suspension), Johan Djourou (hamstring) Doubt: Lewis Holtby (sick) Frankfurt: Out: Szabolcs Huszti & Michael Hector (suspension), Marc Stendera (cruciate ligament), Marco Russ (testicular cancer), Guillermo Varela (ankle), Bamba Anderson (hyaline cartilage), & Danny Blum (ligament fissure), Slobodan Medojevic (knee), Joel Gerezgiher (muscle) Doubt: Enis Bunjaki (ligament fissure)

Prediction:

Hamburg haven't scored for five consecutive Bundesliga matches, while Frankfurt have proved more efficient in defence on the road this season - conceding just twice away from home, compared to six at home. We are backing this trend to continue, as Frankfurt seal a comfortable victory to heap yet more misery on Hamburg.
