Dortmund vs Hamburger SV Prediction & Betting Tips (21 March)

Unfortunately for him, Borussia Dortmund should not be able to end Bayern Munich's hegemony over German football. However, this team clearly does not have to be ashamed of its very good record of 58 points taken in 26 days played this year but it still accuses 9 units of expenditure on an intractable Bavarian team against whom it lost during the Klassiker 2-3. Despite this setback, Niko Kovac's men did not give up and won their next two matches, against Cologne 1-2 and against Augsburg 2-0 last week. Thanks to these successes, the Borussen are 8 points ahead of their first pursuer. For their part, Hamburg is on the verge of fulfilling its priority objective of the season, namely securing a rather comfortable hold.

The promoted players are in fact in a very suitable 11th place in the ranking, with a very suitable margin of 6 points on the play-off before the last 8 days of this 2025-2026 financial year. Merlin Polzin's men had, however, encountered some difficulties in recent weeks with defeats against Leipzig 1-2 and against Bayer Leverkusen 0-1. But HSV then resumed their march forward by dominating Wolfsburg 1-2 before sharing the points with Cologne 1-1 last week.

The season is already over for experienced defender Can, victim of a torn cruciate ligament and probably absent until the end of the calendar year. Young defender Mané must also give up this weekend. Left injured at the end of the game last week, Swedish full-back Svensson is doubtful. Algerian defender Bensebaïni will make his return after being suspended following an accumulation of yellow cards. The Norwegian full-back Ryserson (12 assists) is operational. Striker Guirassy (12 goals in the Bundesliga, 4 goals and 3 assists in C1) is also there even if he started on the bench last week. The formidable Brandt (6 goals and 3 assists in Bundesliga, 3 goals in C1) and Adeyemi (6 goals and 3 assists in Bundesliga, 2 goals and 2 assists in C1) as well as the very good Beier (9 goals, 4 assists in Bundesliga) are all candidates for a place in the starting 11. Hamburg will have to go to Signal Iduna Park deprived of several elements.

Indeed, defender Rossing-Lelesiit must still remain in the hands of the HSV medical staff. The unused Grönbaek and left-back Jatta as well as Danish striker Poulsen are also likely to withdraw as they did last week. French striker Rayan Philippe (5 goals) and defender Vuskovic (also 5 goals) are the 2 top scorers in this team. Striker Königsdörffer, midfielder Lonkoga and the interesting Dompé have each scored four goals this year. The probable line-ups for Borussia Dortmund - Hamburg: Borussia Dortmund: Köbel - Süle, Anton, Schlotterbeck - Ryerson, Sabitzer Nmecha, Svensson - Beier, Guirassy, ​​Fabio Silva (or Brandt). Hamburg: Fernandes - Omari, Vuskovic, Torunarigha - Mikelbrencis, Remberg, Lokonga, Muheim - Fabio Vieira, Königsdörffer, Otele (or Dompé).
