Hamburger SV vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction & Betting Tips (13 January)

Returning to the Bundesliga last summer, Hamburg's only goal this year is to be able to maintain its place in the elite. The task is clearly not easy for this team which is however on the right track since it occupies 13th place in the ranking with a margin of 4 points on the red zone before this last day of the first leg. Since its last success against Werder Bremen 3-1, HSV has suffered 2 defeats in 3 days against Hoffenheim 4-1, Eintracht Frankfurt 1-1 and against Friborg 2-1 last weekend. Bayer Leverkusen, for its part, got off to a very bad start to this new year 2026, losing quite heavily last weekend at home against a great Stuttgart team.

1-4. Despite this big disappointment, the 11 de l'Usine retains 4th place in the ranking but has seen the competition return to its level in the race for the Champions League. Before the winter break, Kasper Hjumland's men had shown a much more convincing face by logically winning against Cologne 2-0 and against RB Leipzig 1-3. 

Hamburg still cannot count on the central defender passed by Rennes Omari, on the attackers Glatzel and Poulsen and on the French striker Rayan Philippe (4 goals) who are still in the hands of the local medical staff. In addition to this, substitute midfielders Soumahoro and Suhonen and striker Baldé (0 goals) complete the list of packages for the day for HSV and defender Elfadli will be suspended after being sent off on the last day.

On the other hand, the important Dompé (2 goals) and the midfielder Lokonga (4 goals scored this season in the Bundesliga) are very present as is the only scorer last weekend, defender Vuskovic.
