This s a classic derby between the last two teams, although these are teams that were in the very top of the Bundesliga in the past. HSV has struggled for years and it is not a big surprise that they are now in the relegation zone, but that is why Cologne is a negative surprise of the season in which they played Europa league, they are convincingly the last on the table despite the fact that they finally managed to record two wins. HSV has lost the previous three games and they are five rounds without a win. In the first part of the season HSV has celebrated in Cologne with 3-1.

Hamburger SV

HSV is going through a crisis and they have now fallen to the penultimate place, with the hat the first team over the relegation zone line, is too far away. The bigger problem was that HSV has achieved the last win at the end of November against Hoffenheim, and then two draws and then three other defeats, which is a series that is still on going. Only two goals were scored in the aforementioned five rounds and they were defeated in both those matches.

The first round of the second part has brought Augsburg a hope they could do something, but they lost with 1-0 and did not create a real chance, which is really disappointing. Compared to a team who had lost before the break in M'gladbach, coach Gisdol made a lot of changes and he even replaced the goalkeeper Matheniu, but nothing helped him. Now we expect G.Sakai and Hunt to return to the team.

Probable lineups Hamburger SV: Pollersbeck – Diekmeier, K.Papadopoulos, Mavraj, D.Santos – G.Sakai, Jun – Hahn, Hunt, Kostic – Wood

1.FC Cologne

Even though they are already written off, Cologne is still not surrendering, and two victories in the championship are really a little resurgence. It will take a lot longer to keep their Premiership status, but there is plenty of time for the “Billy Goats” to really play well. It is difficult to say that they were shinning in the previous two rounds and it is better to think that they had a lot of luck, but they did not lack the fighting spirit.

Before the break, they were defeated by Wolfsburg with 1-0 and they were a better rival, and after the breaks they welcomed Borussia M'gladbach and it was already a dramatic match in which they were no better and they came to a victory in the fifth minute of injury time. Striker Terodda has scored a goal, who was recently brought from Stuttgart and that was obviously a good decision. In the meantime, they have also brought the midfielder Koziello from Nice and his debut is expected precisely in this duel. The list of injured players is still the same and there are six players that are out of action.

Probable lineups 1.FC Cologne: T.Horn – Sorensen, J.Mere, Heintz, J.Hector – Koziello, Hoger – Klunter, Jojic – Zoller, Terodde

Verdict:

Both teams are under great pressure, but HSV is in a very bad shape, and Cologne is in the rush and this match is even crucial for them. That is why we believe that the guests will play good in this duel and return undefeated from the north of Germany.
