HEBC Hamburg - Borussia Dortmund: Can Hamburg create a sensation in this match?
HEBC Hamburg
On Tuesday, August 1, the first-round match of the German Cup between HEBC Hamburg and Borussia Dortmund will take place. The game will start at 20:45 CET, and I am offering a bet on this match.
HEBC Hamburg - Borussia Dortmund: Match Preview
HEBC Hamburg play in the regional Oberliga Hamburg. In other words, this is far from a professional team, and they will try to create a major upset. Although, obviously, this will be extremely difficult. They have played five matches in the new Oberliga Hamburg season, winning twice and losing three times. The team currently sits 13th in the table with just six points after five rounds. Last season, they also finished 13th, so this campaign the team will once again be fighting around the same positions.
Borussia Dortmund play in Germany's top division and are the clear favorites for this match. The club are also among the favorites to win the German Cup. At the start of the new season, Dortmund played against Hamburg and won 2:0. Borussia also competed in the German Super Cup but lost 1:2 and were left without the trophy. Now they face an Oberliga Hamburg side, followed by a Bundesliga match against Hoffenheim at the weekend.
