Hamburg v Dortmund: Predicted line-ups | OneFootball

After a long absence of HSV in the Bundesliga, BVB is once again traveling to the Volksparkstadion for a competitive match. Starting at 3:30 PM, Borussia Dortmund aims to build on its successful start to the season, especially compared to recent years. This is expected to happen with the following lineup at the start of the HSV – BVB match.

Injured for Borussia Dortmund is only Niklas Süle. It should still be mentioned that Julien Duranville and Salih Özcan are also not in the squad, thus not an option for this afternoon.

The Kicker suspects the following lineup from coach Niko Kovac against Hamburger SV, where Julian Brandt would again have to watch from the bench initially:

Gregor Kobel – Aaron Anselmino, Nico Schlotterbeck, Ramy Bensebaini – Yan Couto, Pascal Groß, Jobe Bellingham, Daniel Svensson – Karim Adeyemi, Carney Chukwuemeka – Serhou Guirassy

Beier and Brandt likely only on the bench for BVB

After the double red card for HSV at 1. FC Köln, the two offenders are suspended today. Additionally, two more HSV players are out due to injury. This results in the following list of missing players for the hosts:

HSV wants to avoid a fourth consecutive defeat and has generally looked quite good at home so far. Coach Merlin Polzin might opt for the following lineup, with Nikolas Capaldo reportedly still a doubtful candidate according to Kicker.

Daniel Heuer Fernandes – Nikolas Capaldo, Luca Vuskovic, Daniel Elfadli – Giorgi Gocholeishvili, Albert Sambi Lokonga, Nicolai Remberg, Miro Muheim – Rayan Philippe, Yussuf Poulsen, Jean-Luc Dompé

Of course, BVB is considered the favorite against the newly promoted HSV, which generally struggles to score points in the Bundesliga. The odds for a Borussia Dortmund victory are around 1.85. Most odds for an HSV victory range between 3.75 and 4.00. So, the guests from Westphalia are not overwhelming favorites.

The last encounters between the two teams naturally date back a long time. In 2018, BVB last visited Hamburger SV, winning 3-0, but this result is unlikely to have any significance today. From BVB's starting lineup back then – which still included Nuri Sahin as a player – not a single player remains at the club.
