Hamburg boss Merlin Polzin has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Dennis Hadzikadunic (Inner ligament tear in ankle joint), Immanuel Pherai (Ankle injury), Tom Mickel (Knock), Bakery Jatta (Syndesmotic ligament tear) and Noah Katterbach (Cruciate ligament tear) are not ready for selection.

We believe Hamburg seem likely to make use of a 4-3-3 system by sending out D. Heuer Fernandes, William Mikelbrencis, Sebastian Schonlau, Daniel Elfadli, Miro Muheim, Adam Karabec, Jonas Meffert, Ludovit Reis, Fabio Balde, Jean-Luc Dompe and Robert Glatzel.
