Hamburger SV vs Wolfsburg prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2025-10-24 13:30.
[p]Mid-table Hamburg look to inflict further misery on a freefalling Wolfsburg in this Saturday afternoon Bundesliga clash. [/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Hamburg were unfortunate to see their three-game unbeaten run ended after a 2-1 defeat to RB Leipzig, but Merlin Polzin’s men can at least take heart from the fact they’ve picked up more points than the club has managed at the same stage in four of their previous five top-flight campaigns. Bouncing back swiftly will be top of the agenda as the Bundesliga’s new boys’ quest for survival continues following their seven-season exile, and returning home could be just what they need with six of their eight points arriving here (W2, L1). [/p]
[p]The pressure continues to mount on Wolfsburg’s Paul Simonis, whose side have lost each of their last four Bundesliga games in what is currently the joint-worst record in the league alongside St. Pauli. Their measly haul of five points from seven games is Wolfsburg’s joint-lowest return at this stage of the season since the 2001/02 campaign, before they eventually picked up to finish tenth. Now hoping to avoid a third straight road defeat, Wolfsburg did remain unbeaten without conceding away to both promoted sides last season (W1, D1). [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Hamburg have picked up seven of the last nine available points against Wolfsburg (W2, D1) after a sobering run of form which saw them fail to win any of the previous 11 H2Hs (D5, L6). They have earned just 1.2 points per home game overall against Wolfsburg in the top-flight, and only have a worse such record (minimum three matches) against Bayern Munich (1.1). [/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Hamburg are the only team in the league yet to score a Bundesliga goal after the 75th minute this term.[/p]
[p]The side scoring first has gone on to win each of Hamburg’s league games that didn’t end goalless (W2, L3). [/p]
[p]The starting match favourite (either team) remains unbeaten in Wolfsburg’s league games this season (W4, D2). [/p]
[p]Wolfsburg have received a league-low ten yellow cards after seven rounds. [/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Albert Sambi Lokonga has opened the scoring for Hamburg in his last two appearances, already surpassing his one-goal tally recorded in two seasons across the Premier League and La Liga. For Wolfsburg, Mohamed Amoura will hope for more than his 14-minute cameo last weekend after scoring four goals in the international break, though he may have to bide his time as none of his last six club strikes were match openers. [/p]
[p]Hamburg defender Giorgi Gocholeishvili is a notable absentee with a broken nose. Amongst a host of players on the treatment table, Wolfsburg’s Maximilian Arnold remains a doubt.[/p]
