Hamburger SV vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction & Betting tips
Every year, the marmot greets in Hamburg. The HSV is also in the middle of the second half of the season back on the brink this season. The only remaining Dino in the Bundesliga is strongly relegation threatened. Also repeated has the scenario that the Hanseatic League with Bernd Hollerbach have installed a head coach who must act as a fireman and avoid the crash in the lower house. While HSV has been able to avert this worst-case scenario in recent years, things are getting really tight in the current season. For the tables-17. are two immensely important games. Before it goes in a week in the Northern Derby to Bremen, HSV receives this week Bayer 04 Leverkusen in Volksparkstadion.

The residue on Relegationsplatz 16 (Mainz 05) is three counters and up to the saving shore with 15th place, on which currently the northern rival Werder Bremen is six points behind. The change of coach from Markus Gisdol to Bernd Hollerbach, shortly after the winter break, already had first positive effects on the performances of HSV. Above all, the 1: 1 in Leipzig was considered a success.

In the next few weeks, however, it is now time to retake threesome. With a draw you can not move forward in the table, especially as the direct competition scores strongly. The next three games for the Dino are absolutely trend-setting and if nothing jumps out on Saturday against Leverkusen and then in the two direct relegation duels against Bremen and Mainz, the clock in Volkparkstadion could soon stop.

The Werkself has a very stable defensive construct around the Bender twins. In the offensive, the individual quality in the squad is extremely large and as a key player here must be called Leon Bailey. The winger is one of the big performers in this season and forms together with Kevin Volland and Julian Brandt a powerful offensive trio.
Last weekend, Leverkusen lost its international ambitions and suffered a 2-0 home defeat to Hertha BSC. In this game, the aftermath of the exhausting cup matches against Werder Bremen was very noticeable. In this training week, the Bayer players had time to recharge the battery and to prepare intensively for the duel in Hamburg. There, the three lost points on Saturday are to be retrieved.
