Hamburger SV vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction

Hamburger SV Form

In their last three matches, Hamburger SV lost 4-1 against Hoffenheim, drew 1-1 with Eintracht Frankfurt, before losing to Freiburg by 2-1. Hamburger SV won half of their previous six matches on home soil in the Bundesliga, while also drawing two. They suffered one defeats, while they scored 11 and conceded six goals.

They had their sights set on gold, but Hamburger SV could soon be forced to readjust the target to qualifying for Europe.

Bayer Leverkusen Form

Despite losing their latest outing, results have generally been decent in the last three matches for Bayer Leverkusen. They first took out FC Koln by 2-0 before downing RB Leipzig by 1-3. The winning streak came to an end against VfB Stuttgart, who ran out 1-4 winners. Bayer Leverkusen performed a very admirable four wins in six Bundesliga away matches, drawing none but losing twice as well. They scored 12 times, while also conceding 11 goals.

Standards are high at a club like Bayer Leverkusen and as such the season is so far going according to plan.

Form looks slightly more in favour of Bayer Leverkusen than odds suggests. We believe the bookmakers have placed a little too much faith in Hamburger SV and we like the prices on offer for the away win.

Hamburger SV fought their way to one wins and four points from their last five games against teams inside the top six. They were on target five times in these matches, but also let in 13 goals. Hamburger SV have a record of four wins, four draws and eight defeats in the Bundesliga this season. Bayer Leverkusen enjoy a record of nine wins, two draws and five defeats in the Bundesliga.
