In a weekend match in week 17, on Saturday Nov 12th, Hamburger SV will play host to Sandhausen in a clash of these two extremely mismatched 2. Bundesliga teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 9 degrees, which will make playing unpleasant. In their last match, 2nd placed Hamburger SV, recorded a 3-1 win against Jahn Regensburg. Kaan Caliskaner struck first for Jahn Regensburg in the 7th minute, but Mario Vušković got the equalizer for Hamburger SV in the 12th minute But luckily in the 79th minute, they were able to complete the comback with a goal by Ransford Konigsdorffer. Hamburger SV looks to continue their winning ways, having 7 wins in their last 10 matches, while sandhausen sits at 16th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 1-0 shutout win against Hansa Rostock. Christian Kinsombi struck first for Sandhausen in the 45th minute on a feed from David Kinsombi, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else In the end, Hansa Rostock was frustrated by Sandhausen’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Sandhausen ended the match with the shutout victory. Sandhausen looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 10 points in their last 10 matches.
This match will be the first time these two teams face eachother this season. Last season Hamburger SV won the head to head battle with 1 win.
Sandhausen is having problems scoring lately. Their top scorers, Aleksandr Zhirov and Stephan Kofi Ambrosius each only have 1 goal in their last 5. Both Robert Glatzel and Ransford Konigsdorffer have been the hottest scorers for Hamburger SV in the last 5 each having scored 2 goals each.
