Prediction for Hamburg vs. Borussia Dortmund
Expect a goal-filled game from the hosts: in the current championship, Hamburg scored six goals in four home matches. Additionally, the club has been effective in attack previously: in their last 11 home Bundesliga matches, Hamburg failed to score in only three. However, in 10 of their last 13 home games in this tournament, they couldn't keep a clean sheet.
Borussia rarely struggles to create and regularly scores even away from home: their away scoring streak in the championship is nine matches. In seven of these encounters, the team scored at least two goals. However, in 7 of their last 10 away Bundesliga games, Dortmund couldn't keep a clean sheet, conceding 14 goals in total during this period.
I believe both teams will perform effectively in attack, and my prediction: Both teams to score – yes
* The starting lineup for each team is based on their last match in this tournament.
