Hamburger SV – VfL Osnabruck Picks & Prediction
Hamburger SV - VfL Osnabruck Prediction, Picks and Tips
In the summer, Daniel Thioune moved from the Bremer Brücke to Hamburg. On Monday there will be the first duel between the HSV coach and his old team, which he personally led to the second Bundesliga. On the other hand, Marco Grote is a coach who once wore the Hanseatic jersey. It is therefore a very special game for the trainer.
A look at the history books also shows that there is a curious story between these teams. VfL celebrated their last away win at HSV in the spring of 1961, at the time at the green table, because HSV did not play. The Hamburg team had a play-off in the European Cup against FC Barcelona three days later and therefore decided not to play in the Oberliga Nord against Osnabrück.
But back to the present. In the table of the second Bundesliga, HSV had to give up the lead on this match day, it was the competition's turn. But the Hamburg team can step up and would recapture pole position with a three on Monday. In general, the prognosis for a home win is between HSV and Osnabrück.
VfL started the season very well. At the moment the violets are in the middle of the table. This is an area in which Marco Grote's team does not feel uncomfortable. When you play for a top team in the league, the first tendency in the encounter between HSV and Osnabrück is a tip for a home win.
If you are looking for reasons why Hamburger SV will finally be able to return to the Bundesliga this season, then one name is mentioned above all. Simon Terodde is the outstanding clippers of the second Bundesliga. The attacker scored 16 times in 15 games of the season. He's already shot two clubs in the upper house. Will he succeed in this feat for the third time this year?
As a team, HSV has been strong in recent weeks. Despite some problems on the defensive, Daniel Thioune's team scored 13 points from the last five second division games. This puts Hamburg at the top of the form table and that is an indication that the well-known bookmakers should take advantage of the odds on a home win in the game between HSV and Osnabrück.
Last weekend, however, HSV had to give up in the second division. The Hanseatic League was a guest at 1. FC Nürnberg and had to be satisfied with a 1-1 draw. Simon Terodde initially equalized the early deficit. The bottom line was that the division of points was okay.
On Monday, HSV will still be missing Jan Gyamerah, Klaus Gjasula and Rick van Drongelen, who are on the list of injuries in the second division. Amadou Onana has reported back and could be an option in defensive midfield. It is possible that there will be no change to the formation of the previous week.
One can say that VfL Osnabrück started the season furiously. For a long time the violets had close contact with the ascent sites. Currently, however, it is becoming clear that Marco Grote's team has apparently lived beyond its means, because in the meantime you have been passed through to midfield and now have to be careful not to slip into the table.
In the last five competitive games, Osnabrück suffered four defeats and were unlucky enough to be eliminated in the DFB Cup at 1. FC Köln. It almost seems as if the many games in the last few weeks and months have gotten to the bottom. Therefore, it remains between HSV and Osnabrück with the forecast of a home win for the Hanseatic League.
Last weekend, VfL got the bottom of the class from Würzburg on their feet and lost 3-2 at home. Sebastian Kerk even brought Osnabrück 1-0 forward, but in the second half the violets fell into a collective deep sleep and were 1: 3 behind after 80 minutes. Luc Ilhorst only managed to hit the connection.
On Monday, coach Marco Grote will be able to fall back on Maurice Trapp, who had to serve a suspension against Würzburg. Ulrich Bapoh is also back in training and could be an alternative for the starting XI. Sebastian Klaas, Marc Auge and Bashkim Ajdini are still missing. There will probably be some changes in the VfL starting line-up.
