THE PREDICTION
The standout fixture of the weekend not only in the 2. Bundesliga, but arguably in the whole of Germany sees second-placed Hamburger SV host league leaders Werder Bremen in a match fitting of a higher division. A point currently separates the two sides and Werder are not expected to commit too many bodies forward here that would risk them being left exposed defensively. The visitors will surely prioritise defensive discipline and stability, knowing that a point is all they need to remain above their opponents. Hamburg however, cannot afford to be sucked into throwing caution to the wind chasing the three points with the ramifications of losing so big when considering how tight it is at the top end of the 2. Bundesliga table. Therefore, a cagey encounter appears very much on the cards with clear cut chances likely to be at a premium for both, so back under 2.5 goals scored at Volksparkstadion.
