Team News

Hamburg
Kaiserslautern
  • Star striker Robert Glatzel returned to training on Tuesday, but Merlin Polzin will not rush him back into action, especially not given the form of Davie Selke.
  • Winger Emir Sahiti was sent off against Jahn Regensburg and will miss the game against Kaiserslautern.
  • Elsewhere, expect Polzin to recall centre-back Daniel Elfadli and defensive midfielder Ludovit Reis.
  • Markus Anfang has confirmed that Hendrick Zuck and Tobias Raschl are among the four players who will not travel to the Volksparkstadion on Friday night.
  • One change could be on the cards for Lautern with Leon Robinson replacing Tim Breithaupt in midfield.
  • Ragnar Ache will likely be preferred to Daniel Hanslik up top.

Prediction

  • Hamburg passed up a golden opportunity to take over the lead of the 2. Bundesliga standings last weekend as they needed a late Davie Selke penalty to salvage a draw against basement boys Jahn Regensburg.
  • Despite that slip-up, Merlin Plzin's side are now undefeated in 10 league matches.
  • Both of the top two sides, including Kaiserslautern's hosts, failed to win in gameweek 22, and Die Roten Teufel followed suit, playing out a goalless draw against Hannover at Fritz-Walter-Stadion.
  • The visitors have won three of their last four away league games ahead of their trip to the Volksparkstadion.
