Hamburg Preview – Can Hamburg build on positive start?
Hamburg narrowly lost out on a place in this season’s Bundesliga as they lost 2-1 on aggregate against Hertha Berlin at the end of last season, despite earning a 1-0 lead away from home in the 1st leg.
A 2-0 loss at home in the return leg dashed Hamburg’s hopes of a swift return to the German top flight but the hosts have made a positive start to this new 2 Bundesliga campaign as they’ve won three of their opening four games with wins against Eintracht Braunschweig, Heidenheim and Arminia Bielefeld.
Darmstadt Preview – Can Darmstadt go a step better this term?
Despite losing 2-0 away from home at Jahn Regensburg on the opening day of this new season, last season’s 4th placed finishers, Darmstadt, have staged a recovery by winning each of their subsequent three league games on the trot and will be hoping to make it four on Friday night.
Victories over Sandhausen, Eintracht Braunschweig and Hansa Rostock should give Darmstadt a timely boost for Friday’s trip to Hamburg although the visitors have won just two of their last six away games, losing four of these.
