Hamburg vs Wehen Wiesbaden Predictions

• Hamburg have kept clean sheets in 46% of their 2. Bundesliga home games.
• Wehen Wiesbaden have lost 50% of their away games in the 2. Bundesliga.
• Hamburg have won 69% of their 2. Bundesliga home matches.
• Under 2.5 goals have been produced in 54% of Hamburg’s home games in the 2. Bundesliga.

Wehen Wiesbaden remain in the automatic relegation places

On Tuesday evening struggling Wehen Weisbaden played host to fellow relegation battlers Sandhausen where a solitary strike from Dennis Diekmeier coupled with the late sending-off of Tobias Schwede saw the home side slip to a 1-0 defeat.

That result means Wehen Wiesbaden sit second from bottom in the 2. Bundesliga table, 3pts adrift of safety, with the second-worst goal difference (-13) in the division, while Hamburg dropped out of the automatic promotion places following their 3-2 defeat at the hands of Stuttgart.

Hamburg’s automatic promotion push hit a bump in the road on Thursday night as they blew a 2-0 half time lead away at third-placed Stuttgart, eventually losing the game 3-2 in stoppage time. There were plenty of positives for the visitors during the first forty-five but their second-half collapse means the Die Rothosen have only won three games on the road.

Hamburg are at their best in their own backyard

The hosts sit 3rd in the table due to an impressive home record that has so far produced 9 wins, 2 draws, and 2 defeats from their 13 home games in the 2. Bundesliga this season. Visiting Wehen Wiesbaden have been disappointing so far this season and head into Sunday’s clash having lost 50% of their away games in the 2. Bundesliga.

Hamburg average 2.23 points per home game, boasting a win ratio of 69% in their own backyard, you can start to see just why we have predicted a win for the hosts this weekend. The visitors average 1.07 points per away game, which is below the league average of 1.10 points, and have lost three of their last five away games.

At home, Hamburg score an average of 2.08 goals per game and concede just 0.69 goals, while When Wiesbaden concede an average of 1.43 goals per away game. We’re not expecting a high scoring game this Sunday as both teams appear to be out of form at this moment in time and 54% of Hamburg’s home games have produced under 2.5 goals this season.

Backing the hosts to win and keep a clean sheet

Hamburg might have only won one of their last six league games but their strong home record and the fact they sit 18pts ahead of Wehen Wiesbaden provides enough reason to back the home side to win this Sunday.

The hosts have only conceded 9-goals at home this season, scoring 27, and have managed to keep clean sheets in 46% of their matches at the Volksparkstadion, while Wehen Wiesbaden have failed to score in 36% of their trips on the road. Hamburg have kept clean sheets in 46% of their home games and have won-to-nil in 38% of those 13 matches, while 31% of their matches at the Volksparkstadion have produced exactly 2-goals.

We’ve predicted a final scoreline of 2-0 in favour of Hamburg this weekend as the hosts have scored 2-goals in three of their last four league games, while Wehen Wiesbaden have failed to score in three of their last five matches and four of their last six 2. Bundesliga games have produced under 2.5 goals.
