📰 Team News: Hamburg

Hamburg boss Merlin Polzin has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Matheo Raab (Broken hand), Miro Muheim (Torn muscle fiber), Nicolas Oliveira (Internal ligament tear), Aboubaka Soumahoro (Tendon rupture), Noah Katterbach (Cruciate ligament tear) and Bakery Jatta (Syndesmotic ligament tear) will miss out on this game.

💡 Prediction

Our thinking is that Hamburg will most probably convert a lot of goal-scoring opportunities.

At the other end, Schalke might well find it a difficult task scoring goals of their own although we think that they will probably end up being dangerous for periods.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a controlled 1-3 winning margin for Hamburg come full-time.
