Game played for the relegation, between the 16th in the Bundesliga and the 3rd in the Bundesliga II.

Hertha ended 16th in Bundesliga after a crazy last round, where they were very close to avoiding relegation, but Stuttgart scored a winning goal in the last minute of the game and overtook Hertha, who lost against Borussia. This surely affected their motivation here.

Their campaign has been so poor, with 19 defeats (2nd team with more defeats after bottom Greuther Furth) and 71 goals conceded (2nd worst defense after bottom too).

Furthermore, for today the coach has problems as he has 9 players out. A total of To nine first-team players could be sidelined through injury. Die Alte Dame have confirmed that Marcel Lotka is doubtful after the goalkeeper suffered a mild concussion and a nasal bone fracture in the defeat at Dortmund. First-choice keeper Alexander Schwolow is also doubtful as he was one of four players – along with Lukas Klunter, Lee Dong-Jun and Kelian Nsona – who trained individually this week. Kevin-Price Boateng has been absent from training altogether and will be assessed ahead of kickoff, while Davie Selke (muscle), Anton Kade (stomach) and Marton Dardai (hip) are set to remain sidelined. Ascacibar is suspended.

On the other hand, Hamburg is in great form with 5 league victories in a row. They have been the whole season at the top of the table of Bundesliga II, and have been a very difficult team to beat: the best defense (35 goals conceded) and the team with fewer defeats in the league (only 6 in 34 games).

Made a great campaign, reaching also to play the DFB-Pokal semi-finals, where lost against Freiburg (who ended 6th in Bundesliga). In previous rounds, they managed to beat in penalties another Bundesliga team - Koln, who ended 7th in the table.

History is against us - only one time in the last 9 the Bundesliga II team managed to win this series. But I see Hertha very weak and not in the best situation here, while Hamburg is a very strong side and difficult to beat. We must also remember that there will be a second leg game too.

为升降级而进行的比赛，在德甲第 16 场和德甲 II 场第 3 场之间进行。

柏林赫塔在上轮疯狂结束后在德甲排名第16，险些保级，但斯图加特在比赛最后时刻打入制胜一球，反超输给门兴的赫塔。这肯定影响了他们在这里的动机。

他们的比赛非常糟糕，有 19 场失利（第二支球队在垫底的 Greuther Furth 之后失利更多）和 71 个失球（在垫底之后也是第二差的防守）。

此外，今天教练有阵容问题，因为他有9名球员出局。共有 9 名一线队球员可能因伤缺阵。

Die Alte Dame已经证实，在多特蒙德的失利中，门将遭受轻微脑震荡和鼻骨骨折后，马塞尔·洛特卡是可疑的。主力门将亚历山大·施沃洛也值得怀疑，因为他是训练有素的四名球员之一——还有卢卡斯·克伦特、李东俊和科利安·恩索纳。本周单独。凯文-普莱斯博阿滕完全缺席训练，将在开球前接受评估，而戴维塞尔克（肌肉）、安东卡德（胃）和马顿达尔戴（臀部）将继续缺阵。 Ascacibar 被暂停。

另一方面，汉堡的状态很好，连续5场联赛胜利。他们整个赛季都在德甲 II 的积分榜上名列前茅，并且是一支非常难以击败的球队：防守最好（失球 35 球）和联赛中失利较少的球队（34 场比赛中只有 6 场） . 取得了出色的成绩，还参加了德国杯的半决赛，但输给了弗赖堡（在德甲联赛中排名第 6）。在之前的几轮比赛中，他们在点球大战中击败了德甲的另一支球队——科隆，后者在积分榜上排名第7。

历史与我们背道而驰——在过去的 9 场比赛中，德乙队只有一次赢得了这个系列赛。但是我认为柏林赫塔非常弱，而且这里的情况不是最好的，而汉堡非常强大侧和难以击败。我们还必须记住，还会有第二回合比赛。
