THE PREDICTION
It is nearly three weeks since Sandhausen last played a match as the whole squad had to spend 14 days in quarantine due to a coronavirus outbreak. They only returned to training on Monday, but will quickly need to shake off any ring rust as time is running out to beat the drop and they now face a packed schedule until the end of the season. The first of their games in hand comes against Hamburger SV, who themselves have not played for almost two weeks. A look at the table suggests the visitors should be clear favourites here but second-from-bottom Sandhausen have suffered just one defeat in their last seven home games, while third-placed HSV have been inconsistent on the road lately. Sandhausen’s recent encounters have also been low on goals, and they have registered five clean sheets in their last seven at home. With both sides likely to be a little rusty, under 2.5 goals could prove a smart play.
