Two big clashes ahead: HSV focus on new fixture dates | OneFootball

Last Saturday evening, HSV hosted FC Bayern Munich for the top match. In March, they will play twice at the exclusive kickoff time.

Yesterday, Wednesday, the DFL published the schedules for matchdays 25 to 27. Accordingly, Hamburger SV will play at VfL Wolfsburg on Saturday, March 7th, at the traditional Bundesliga time of 3:30 PM. A week later, 1. FC Köln will visit the Volkspark at 6:30 PM. The promoted teams' duel surprisingly took precedence over the table highlight match between Bayer Leverkusen and FC Bayern Munich, whose last four editions all took place on Saturday evening.

The scheduling once again emphasizes the appeal of the two traditional clubs, which almost exclusively play in front of sold-out crowds. It seems almost logical that HSV will also play at Borussia Dortmund on Saturday, March 21st, at 6:30 PM. This match was preferred over the Rhine derby between Köln and Borussia Mönchengladbach, which was ahead in the first half of the season.

HSV eyes more Saturday evening games

Each club is allowed to play ten times on Saturday evening at 6:30 PM. The choice of the matchup is mainly up to the rights holder Sky, but it is made in consultation with the DFL and security forces. So far, HSV, which always attracts many fans to the TV, has not played a major role. In the previous 20 matchdays, they only had the big stage in the duels with FC Bayern.

The recent 2-2 against the German record champion in the atmospheric Volkspark left an impression nationwide. Perhaps this was also the reason to place the Hanseatic team more prominently. In the season's final sprint, they can receive more opportunities. There are still some thrilling encounters with Bundesliga flagships ahead.
