Hamburger SV vs. Hoffenheim preview: Can HSV end five-game winless run?
Hamburger SV
With four games left to play, Merlin Polzin's side are sitting in 14th spot and five points above the bottom three. While they boast a healthy cushion to the danger zone, HSV still have work to do to preserve their Bundesliga status, especially as they have found points hard to come by in recent times. In fact, Hamburg have lost three of their previous four matches, including back-to-back defeats against Stuttgart and Werder Bremen.Â
After falling to a heavy 4-0 loss at the MHPArena, Hamburgâs defence experienced another tough outing in last weekendâs trip to the Weserstadion. Robert Glatzelâs first-half effort proved fruitless as HSV slumped to a 3-1 loss against Bremen in a game that saw Philip Otele dismissed with over 10 minutes left to play.
They will now return home to the Volksparkstadion, where they have taken just two points from four games since beating Union Berlin 4-2 in the middle of February. They can at least take some confidence from the fact they have won their last two home games against Hoffenheim, although plenty of time has passed since those two victories in 2017.
Team News
Hamburg are without the injured quartet of Luka VuĆĄkoviÄMiro Muheim, Fernando Dickes and . Meanwhile, Otele will serve a ban after being sent off last weekend.
