Bundesliga: Hamburger SV vs Bayern Munich

Hamburger SV vs Bayern Munich Betting Tip and Predictions. After winter break, in the opening match of Round 18 in Bundesliga, Hamburger SV take on Bayern Munich. Read below betting preview, useful info and predictions for the match between HSV vs Bayern Munich.

Hamburger SV finished the first half of the season, but the place for the UEFA Europa League is reachable and they will do their best to play in that competition next season. They have to improve their performance in order to achieve it. The match against the best German team is not the great chance to take some point, but they have nothing to lose. Home team played three friendlies in the winter break, but they lost all three. Their coach rotate squad a little bit, but the most important players were included. Ajax beat them 3-1, Erfurt 2-1, while in the last friendly game Young Boys defeat them 2-1. It was their 5th loss in the last 6 matches, including friendlies, so it’s hard to believe that they can make positive result against Bavarians.

Bayern Munich dominate in German football for years and they are the main candidate for the title. They are standing at the top of the table with 8 points more than second Dortmund and it would be a big surprise if Bayern Munich fail to win Bundesliga again. They have one of the best attacks in Bundesliga, scored 46 goals, while on the other side they conceded only 8 goals in 17 matches. Team from Munich have already played against HSV in the first half of the season and smashed them at home 5-0. For Bavarians is more important UEFA Champions League, but they want to secure the title as soon as possible in order to focus on the best Europan club competition. They are big favorites to win this match and every result except their win would be a big surprise.
