Hamburger SV vs Duisburg Prediction & Betting tips
For weeks, the cards for the game between HSV and Duisburg went away like hot cakes. Everywhere it was expected that the Hanseatic League would celebrate a glittering promotion party and the return to the upper house is sealed. Today we know that things went differently. The HSV will be second-rate in the coming season. Not a few fans will probably let their tickets for the match on Sunday expire. Usually there is a great atmosphere in the Volkspark. This is unlikely to be the case on the final day, as both sides have already missed their season goals.
For Hamburg, it does not matter if you are fourth or fifth. After all, you are in the class even before the local rivals St. Pauli, although that should be even for the hardcore Ultras only a very weak consolation. Duisburg, however, is relegated and will kick in the third season in the coming season. A lot less fun, a game in the run-up to basically not promise. It will have to show who has any desire for such a match. Therefore, before the kick-off between HSV and Duisburg the forecast is not so easy. Both teams have made a disastrous picture in recent weeks. But maybe they show in a game that is about nothing more, that you can play free of any pressure once again play beautiful football. The HSV fans would have earned a last good appearance of their team this season before they will probably fall apart in large parts. Maybe the audience will experience a reasonably conciliatory conclusion to the season with many goals. Therefore, in the duel between HSV and Duisburg a tip on many goals might not be a bad choice.
HSV:
The coming season will certainly not be easier for HSV, because the team will get in many parts a different face. The loaners Oral Mangala, Hee-Chan Hwang and Leo Lacroix will leave. Pierre-Michel Lasogga, Lewis Holtby, Douglas Santos and Fiete Arp will also no longer be members of the squad. In addition, Hannes Wolf has to break off his tents in Hamburg. But that is also understandable, because after the first leg in Duisburg HSV Herbstmeister, but is in the table of the second half on a relegation zone. Due to very weak performances in the last weeks, everything was lost. The Hamburgers had several times in their own hands, by victories set the course towards resurgence. In the last eight second division matches, however, there was no more victory and only three draws. After all, there were reasonable appearances in the DFB Cup, of which one has to be dazzled on the Elbe. Therefore, in the match between HSV and Duisburg the odds of a home win are not our first choice.
Also last weekend Hamburg had the chance to remain in Paderborn at least in the promotion race. Once again it was a bloodless appearance. Paderborn was superior in all respects. Neither the players nor the coach came up with impulses that could turn the game in favor of the reds. At the end there was a 1: 4 to book, whereby Hamburg was still relatively well served.
Now, the composition of the squad for the upcoming season is a mammoth task, especially since primarily a new coach should have priority. No wonder, then, that many experts and ex-HSV-affiliated players have their say. Horst Hrubesch, for example, is out of the question as a coach, but hopes that his heart club will not go further downhill. Club legend Uwe Seeler hopes that he will relive his return to the Bundesliga. Back to the match against Duisburg. The HSV will have to compete without David Bates, Kyriakos Papadopoulos, Orel Mangala and Jairo Samperio. Lewis Holtby is still suspended.
Duisburg:
It depends on which perspective you look at the two opponents of the weekend, but the bottom line is the situation at MSV Duisburg probably a little more dramatic than in Hamburg. The zebras have descended for the third time in six years. This is a balance sheet, which is mainly responsible for sports director Ivica Grlic. Nevertheless, it will continue on the Wedau in the coming season with the well-known staff. Also coach Torsten Lieberknecht will continue. Perhaps it is the continuity that quickly brings the MSV back into the second Bundesliga. The performance over the entire season was just too weak. Lieberknecht was able to turn the rudder only shortly after assuming office before the Meidericher again fell into old patterns. The Duisburg have just won one of their last nine games. The bottom line is not enough to survive in the relegation battle. These statistics do not speak just for giving a tip on an away win in the duel between HSV and Duisburg.
The descent of the zebras was sealed last weekend when they lost 3-3 at home to Heidenheim. It was a strange game in which the Meidericher at least showed morality. Duisburg was able to equalize three times through Moritz Stoppelkamp, Dustin Bomheuer and Lukas Daschner.
But the last cartridge had the Heidenheimer, who met in the 82nd minute to 4: 3 victory. In any case, one was dependent on the game of FC Ingolstadt, but still it always hurts particularly when the descent is sealed. Also in Duisburg, the former protagonists now speak up and demand that coaches and managers have to be replaced. From the perspective of Dietmar Hirsch, Ivica Grlic and Torsten Lieberknecht have completely failed. But that does not change the fact that it continues with both. On Sunday, the coach is likely to offer some younger players the opportunity to sniff second division air. Dustin Bomheuer (yellow card suspension), Joseph Baffoe and Andreas Wiegel (both muscle fiber tear), Sebastian Neumann (training) and Ahmet Engin (flu) will not be available.
