Jatta and Soumahoro start as HSV surprise in North derby lineup | OneFootball

After 2,844 days, the Nordderby between HSV and Werder Bremen finally returns to the Bundesliga stage. Kick-off is at 3:30 p.m. in the Volksparkstadion.

Both teams go into this encounter with completely different mindsets. While HSV was recently buoyed by an euphoric last-minute victory against VfB Stuttgart (2:1), a sobering setback followed in the DFB Cup against second-division side Holstein Kiel. After a penalty shootout (2:4), the Rothosen were surprisingly knocked out.

Werder, on the other hand, arrives as a long-established Bundesliga team and won the last derby on Hamburg soil. The anticipation among both sets of fans is enormous, and the significance is undisputed: This match could become a mood barometer for both clubs in the coming weeks.

All the more surprising is the line-up with which HSV, in particular, is approaching this match. Among others, Bakery Jatta and Aboubaka Soumahoro are in the starting eleven.
