Hamburger SV vs Bayern Munich: Match Prediction
Nothing catastrophic happened to Bayern Munich; a team has never completed a season without defeats. Bayern Munich will certainly try to make amends, and in that case Hamburger SV should start to worry. Even without extra motivation the team under Vincent Kompany do not underestimate opponents. Away, Bayern Munich have won 9 of their last 10 Bundesliga matches, and only once in that run did the club score fewer than three goals. In the first round Bayern Munich thrashed Hamburger SV 5:0.
Hamburger SV are in reasonable form, but matches against strong opponents do not go well for the club. This season the club lost to three Champions League hopefuls, and each of those games featured at least three goals. Moreover, Hamburg have conceded 20 goals in their last four head-to-head Bundesliga meetings with Bayern Munich. The club will surely try to avoid another heavy defeat, but doing so in the current situation will be very difficult.
Prediction: Bayern Munich to win and Over 2.5 goals
