Hamburg preview: Solid Hamburg
Hamburg, who gained promotion back to the top-flight last season, sit firmly in the middle-of-the-table with a steady campaign consisting of seven victories and nine draws in their 27 matches this season.
The home team come into this one on the back of a shoddy run of form, though, most recently succumbing to a 3-2 defeat to Borussia Dortmund at Signal Iduna Park a couple of weeks ago before the international break.
Augsburg preview: Steady Augsburg
They now face an Augsburg side that begin the 28th match day of the 2025/26 Bundesliga campaign sitting in the bottom-half of the table after heading into the break in woeful form of late.
The visitors have succumbed to three successive defeats ahead of this match day. Their most recent outing saw them succumb to a 5-2 hammering at the hands of Stuttgart at the WWK Arena in Augsburg.
