Match preview
Under the guidance of Merlin Polzin, Hamburg is enjoying a respectable season after seven years away from the top flight. The team sits in 12th place with 30 points from 27 matches. On home turf, the "Dinosaurs" are traditionally aggressive, pressing their opponents with relentless intensity. The main attacking star is Robert Glatzel, who continues to find the net even at Bundesliga level, while Ludovit Reis's creativity in midfield makes Hamburg's play unpredictable. However, the injury to key defender Sebastian Schonlau could cause problems when defending set pieces.
Augsburg is going through a rough patch. Sandro Wagner's men have lost three of their last five games, including a painful thrashing by Stuttgart (2-5). The team currently sits 10th with 31 points. Augsburg traditionally relies on physical strength and quick vertical transitions, with Philipp Tietz playing a crucial role. The main issue for the visitors is their poor away defending: in March, the team conceded in every away match. With Jeffrey Gouweleeuw suspended due to card accumulation, containing the motivated Hamburg attack will be even more challenging.
Tactically, expect Hamburg to dominate possession. Wagner will likely demand a high tempo from his players right from the start. Augsburg will drop deep into a low block, waiting for opportunities to counterattack down the flanks.
Probable lineups
Hamburg: Raab — Heyer, Hadzikadunic, Muheim, Oliveira — Meffert, Reis, Pherai — Dompe, Glatzel, Jatta
Augsburg: Labrovic — Wolf, Schlotterbeck, Matsima, Giannoulis — Jakic, Maier, Onyeka — Rexhbecaj, Tietz, Essende
