Hamburger SV vs. FC Köln preview: Can the visitors end their five-game winless run? Hamburger SV With nine games left to play, Hamburg are well placed to secure a second consecutive season of Bundesliga football.
Having collected 29 points, HSV are currently sitting in 10th place in the Bundesliga table, boasting a five-point cushion over the bottom three. Three of those 29 points arrived in last Saturday’s 2-1 victory against Wolfsburg, which saw all three goals come from the penalty spot. Luka Vušković dispatched his 33rd-minute penalty to cancel out Christian Eriksen’s opener, before Jean-Luc Dompé took over penalty duties to fire HSV into the lead just before the hour mark.
Dompé’s third league goal of the season ultimately proved enough to clinch Hamburg’s first win over Wolfsburg since 2018. After making it four consecutive away games without defeat, Hamburg will now return to the Volksparkstadion, where they will look to avoid a third straight home defeat. The hosts can take confidence from the fact they have won four of their previous five home matches against Köln, including a 1-0 win in last season’s 2.
