Team Analysis
Hamburg: Hamburg, also known as the "Red Shorts," had a frustrating finish last season, narrowly missing out on promotion by finishing fourth. However, they have shown promise under the guidance of Baumgart, who led them to a victory in their season opener against Cologne. Hamburg’s solid start, especially Königsdörffer’s performance, gives them an edge going into this match.
Hertha: Hertha, the "Old Lady," struggled after their relegation and failed to bounce back immediately, finishing in a disappointing ninth place last season. They’ve started this season with a new coach, Fiel, but the opening loss against Paderborn exposed some vulnerabilities, particularly in defense. Hertha will need to tighten up at the back if they hope to avoid another defeat.
