Hamburger SV vs Eintracht Frankfurt Prediction & Betting Tips (20 December)

Back in the Bundesliga after many years spent at the lower level, Hamburg is aiming for nothing other than a relatively calm maintenance to establish itself permanently at the highest level. For the moment, this team is on time in terms of its passage times since it is in 14th place in the ranking, with a short lead of 4 points over the red zone. HSV had indeed carried out excellent operations in recent weeks by winning against Stuttgart 2-1 and Werder Bremen 3-2 at home but they were unable to hold off against a formidable Hoffenheim team 4-1 last weekend. For their part, Eintracht Frankfurt is undoubtedly not at the level of their pretensions at the start of the season.

Manhandled by competition in the Champions League, the Capricious Diva is only in 31st position in the league phase with only 4 points taken in 6 days and she had to surrender against FC Barcelona 2-1 last week. In the championship, Dino Toppmoller's men are a little behind in the race for European places since they are in 7th position, only 2 lengths from the top 4. Completely overwhelmed against Leipzig 6-0, the Eagles took off again by dismissing Augsburg 1-0 last weekend.

We can still cite several absences from Hamburg. Indeed, the former Rennes defender Omari, the starting center forward Glätzel and the young Winger Rossing-Lelesiit must all throw in the towel, injured. On the other hand, midfielder Remberg is back after being suspended on the last day. Scorer coming off the bench last weekend, striker Rayan Philippe took back control of the scorers' ranking with 4 goals ahead of midfielder Lokonga (3 goals). The striker Dompé (2 goals) and the Dane Poulsen will also be available.

For Eintracht, the formidable scorer Burkardt (8 goals in the Bundesliga, 3 goals and 1 assist in C1) will still not be able to hold its place. His replacement Batshuayi is also forced to throw in the towel this weekend along with unused defender Chandler. Finally, defender Koch is uncertain after going out injured last week while ex-Rennes defender Theate is suspended after receiving his 5th yellow card of the season on the last day. On the other hand, the Knauff wingers (2 goals in the Bundes, 2 goals and 1 moves to C1) and Doan (4 goals and 4 assists in Bundes, 1 assist in C1), the distributor Chaïbi (6 assists) and playmaker Uzun (5 goals, 3 assists) will be on the trip to Hamburg.
