Prediction
Hoffenheim are three games without a loss and could try one last push to
challenge for the European spots with a good result in this game.
Hamburg are still deep in a relegation battle, but a draw against
Leverkusen and four points from their last two games should give them
confidence.
Expect both teams to try to take control of the game early on. This should be a close game.
Hoffenheim 2 - 2 Hamburger SV
