Hamburg games have been really high scoring. They've only scored 7 and conceded 19 in 8 Bundesliga games. Meaning they have more than 3 goals per game. Only one other team has conceded more and it's their opponents tonight. Gladbach is 18th with 4 points. And a whooping 22 goals. Most in the league.

No one is going to be closing this game off. Hamburg lost 3-1 to Frankfurt on Sunday and also lost 1-0 to Paderborn prior to that. So Merlim Polzin will be looking for a win at Volkparkstadion.

Even if their new coach (Alexander Blessin) for Gladbach, is improving on the defending for Gladbach. They are still not the best at it. But a 0-0 draw against Paderborn is an improvement. We expect Robin Hack, Wael Mohya to help the attack. And they have options in attack with Isac Lidberg and Terem Moffi for Hamburg.

Hamburg has quite some injuries to midfielders which are reported as being out. This will even weaken their defense more. They both sit in the bottom 4, so sitting for a safe draw is not good enough for them. This will be an open game with a lot of pressure.
