Hamburg have had a lot of failures to absorb recently

"Hamburg are W3-D4-L7 at Volksparkstadion this season, having lost 5/5 hosting teams now in the top six"

Back Schalke @ 2.001/1 to beat Hamburg

Second plays bottom in the Bundesliga today and Tobias Gourlay is following the form book

Friday night got out of hand in Spain as Deportivo surged past Malaga 3-2 in a goal fest we really didn't see coming. We're hoping to avoid a hangover in Germany today.

Bottom-of-the-table Hamburg lost their first home game under new boss Christian Titz and we fancy his second one will go the same way. The Red Shorts are W3-D4-L7 at Volksparkstadion this season, having lost 5/5 hosting teams now in the top six.

Domenico Tedesco's Schalke are second in the table - and flying. They've won six in a row at home and away. On the road this term, they've won 5/6 visiting teams now in the bottom half. The sole failure came way back in August in just the second round of the season. We fancy them to take all three points again today.
