Borussia Dortmund vs Hamburger SV Prediction

Borussia Dortmund Form

In their last three matches, Borussia Dortmund beat Eintracht Frankfurt by 3-2 and Werder Bremen by 0-2, before losing against Bayern Munich by 1-2. It has been a bit hit-and-miss for Borussia Dortmund but at least mostly hit, as they put four wins on the board in their previous six Bundesliga matches. They didn't draw any matches, but lost twice, scoring 14 goals while conceding eight.

Hamburger SV Form

Hamburger SV are unbeaten in their last three matches, first beating Freiburg by 3-2. This was followed by a 1-1 with Bayer Leverkusen and a 0-3 win against SC Verl. Hamburger SV won twice, while also recording one draw, and three defeats in their last six away matches in the Bundesliga. The scoreline from these matches says 13 goals conceded and eight scored.

We expect Borussia Dortmund to make home advantage count but equally, we do not expect a festival of goals against Hamburger SV. Hence, our punt on the home win in a match with no more than three goals.
