Week 2 features a match on Sunday Jul 24th, where Hamburger SV plays host to Hansa Rostock in a clash of the 2. Bundesliga. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 22 degrees, which is great football weather. In their last match, Hamburger SV recorded a 2-0 shutout win against Eintracht Braunschweig. Robert Glatzel struck first for Hamburger SV in the 67th minute, then Robert Glatzel added another in the 76th minute on a feed from Xavier Amaechi At the end of 90 a dissapointed Eintracht Braunschweig couldn’t manage to score, and Hamburger SV took the shutout win. Hamburger SV is looking for direction having earned 12 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, 15th placed Hansa Rostock, recorded a 0-1 loss against Heidenheim. Schimmer scored the first goal for Heidenheim in the 50th minute, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster In the end, Hansa Rostock was frustrated by Heidenheim’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Heidenheim ended the match with the shutout victory. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 9 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season Hamburger SV won the head to head battle with 2 wins.
Hansa Rostock’s most prolific scorer has been Breier. The German attacker has netted two goals over the last 5 matches. Hamburger SV is glad to have Robert Glatzel in top form. In the last 5 matches the attacker has scored 5 goals.
