In recent performances, Hamburg struggled, securing an undeserved point against Mainz and facing defeat against Leipzig. In contrast, Bayer Leverkusen appears ready to capitalize on Hamburg's vulnerabilities. They are set to rejoin the Top 4 race in the league standings. This outlook is supported by Leverkusen's current form and their evident potential to outperform Hamburg. Backing Leverkusen for a win seems prudent, as they aim to leverage this opportunity to strengthen their position in the league.

Leverkusen are in need of points to keep their Top 4 dream alive (Getty)

Hamburg allowed 3.09 xG to Leipzig last weekend and deservedly lost that clash. Bayer Leverkusen are backed to exploit HSV’s leaky defense and earn an important win here. 

Key Stats  


  • Bayer Leverkusen have won 4 of their last 5 matches against Hamburg. 
  • Bayer Leverkusen have won 6 of their last 10 matches. 

Leverkusen Edge H2H 


This is going to be 83rd head to head match between these sides, Bayer Leverkusen holding a 32-30 advantage, 20 games ending without a winner. 

HSV Coming Off an Awful Defensive Display 


Hamburg had decent results throughout February, claiming seven out of possible twelve points and stayed in the middle of Bundesliga table, currently four points above the danger zone. 

They were lucky to snatch a point in Mainz in late February 1-1, ending the match with 0.70-1.53 expected goals and scoring from their only goal chance. 

Hamburg couldn’t escape defeat last weekend where they scored an opener against Leipzig through Fabio Vieira, but still lost 2-1 at home, allowing 3.09 xG to the opposition. 

Bayer in Need of Points 


Bayer Leverkusen have been battling inconsistency in the last couple of weeks but still have a solid chance to finish inside Top 4, currently sitting in 6th place. 

Kasper Hjulmand’s side controlled possession, had higher xG and more shots than Mainz last weekend but barely got away with a 1-1 draw, Jarell Quansah finding a late equalizer. 

Leverkusen were successful in their recent UCL playoff clashes against Olympiakos, winning 2-0 on aggregate and will face Arsenal in the Round of 16 later this month. 

Predicted Lineups & Team News 


Hamburg (3-4-3) Daniel Heuer Fernandes; Jordan Torunarigha, Luka Vuskovic, Nicolas Capaldo; William Mikelbrencis, Nicolai Remberg, Fabio Vieira, Miro Muheim; Philip Otele, Ransford Königsdörffer, Damion Downs

Shafiq Nandja is suspended for Hamburg, while Alexander Røssing-Lelesiit, Albert Grønbaek, and Bakery Jatta are injured.

Bayer Leverkusen (3-4-2-1) Janis Blaswich; Edmond Tapsoba, Robert Andrich, Jarell Quansah; Lucas Vázquez, Exequiel Palacios, Equi Fernández, Alejandro Grimaldo; Jonas Hofmann, Ernest Poku; Patrik Schick

The visiting side has lengthy injury list right now, Loic Bade, Martin Terrier, Ben Seghir, Nathan Tella, Mark Flekken and Arthur being sidelined.

Verdict

Hamburg didn’t look good in their last two games, undeservedly claiming a point at Mainz, while losing to Leipzig. I am backing Bayer Leverkusen to win here and rejoining the Top 4 race.
