Hamburger SV vs Eintracht Frankfurt
German Bundesliga
Date: Tuesday, 12th December 2017
Kick-off at 19:30 UK/ 20:30 CET
Venue: Volksparkstadion (Hamburg).

Hamburger are once again engaged in the relegation battle and they are coming for the mid-week Bundesliga fixture sitting at the safe zone by virtue of a superior goal-difference with 16th ranked Freiburg.

HSV’s form in recent weeks has been decent as they are coming on the back of a three match unbeaten run with a home win over Hoffenheim followed by back-to-back goal-less draws. This is a massive improvement from the team that lost 7 of their 8 matches between September and October.

On the other hand, Frankfurt are 9th in the league, but they could move into the top six with a win on Tuesday. While there is no denying that this team has been inconsistent, their away performances has been nothing but sublime. It would be surprising to know that they are the second best away side in the league at the moment, a point behind Bayern Munich.

Hamburger vs Eintracht Frankfurt: Head-to-head

Hamburg’s 5 home matches during the period saw 2 draws and 3 Frankfurt wins. They were unbeaten in the 10 previous league games at home turf with 8 wins and 2 draws.

Hamburger vs Eintracht Frankfurt: Predictions

The direct comparison of form clearly puts Frankfurt as firm favorites to win this Bundesliga fixture. It is true that Hamburg has improved in recent weeks, but they are coming against a Frankfurt side who are the second best away team in the league and are unbeaten in this head-to-head fixture since 2011.

From betting point of view, punters must expect few goals here with both teams are set-up on the platform of well-organized defensive units.
