Hamburger SV vs Dortmund prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2025-11-07 14:30.
[p]Hamburg are looking to avoid a fourth straight Bundesliga defeat when they host high-flying Borussia Dortmund on Saturday. [/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]After a three-game run in which they earned seven points against fellow bottom-half sides Heidenheim, Union Berlin and Mainz, newly-promoted Hamburg’s form has nosedived as they sit just two points above the relegation play-off place. Three successive defeats, more than in their first six league games combined, haven’t helped their cause, and only St. Pauli are currently on a longer losing streak in the Bundesliga. Snapping that run here seems unlikely given their only league victories this term came against the bottom two, while their three games against sides starting this round in the top seven all ended in losses that saw them concede 2+ goals.[/p]
[p]Dortmund may have lost 4-1 to Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday, but they currently find themselves third in the Bundesliga (W6, D2, L1), with their only league defeat so far this season coming against formidable leaders Bayern Munich (2-1). An excellent defence has been key to achieving that lofty position in the table, as only Bayern have conceded fewer goals in Germany’s top flight this term than their six. The Black and Yellows are also aiming to secure consecutive clean-sheet away league victories for the second time already this campaign.  [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Dortmund have won each of the last five H2Hs and have kept clean sheets in four of those meetings. [/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Hamburg have received four Bundesliga red cards this season – more than any other side in the division ahead of matchday ten. [/p]
[p]Just three of Hamburg’s last ten games saw both teams score. [/p]
[p]Dortmund have scored exactly once in five of their last six league matches. [/p]
[p]Just one of Dortmund’s last 14 Bundesliga games stood goalless at half-time. [/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Jean-Luc DompĂ© netted Hamburg’s consolation against Cologne last weekend – with each of the Frenchman’s last nine scoring appearances for the club having been in games featuring over 2.5 goals. Dortmund defender Waldemar Anton found the net in defeat at Manchester City, meaning that he has been on the winning side just once in four scoring appearances for the club against top-flight opposition (D2, L1). [/p]
[p]Hamburg’s Immanuel Pherai and Fábio Vieira are both suspended for this fixture, while Dortmund’s Julian Brandt missed the trip to the Etihad and is a doubt here. [/p]
