Prediction
Hamburg have regained confidence after an important win against
Kaiserslautern last weekend. They are still deep in a relegation battle,
but are highly motivated to get a result against a struggling
Leverkusen side.
After the sacking of manager Dutt, Sami Hyypiä takes over until the end
of the season. He needs to give his team some confidence and stability
to finally get a result after four losses in a row.
Expect this to become an intense game. Both teams desperately need points to reach their respective targets.
Hamburger SV 2 - 2 Bayer Leverkusen
