Hamburg
Hamburg didn’t start off the season as they were hoping for. They were without the win in the first six rounds, and then they upset Borussia in Dortmund, and celebrated 0:1 victory. That result gave them real injection of confidence, and they will try to continue with fine games against Hoffenheim.
They have a few injured players for this match: Rene Adler, Maximilian Beister, Slobodan Rajkovic, and Ivo Ilicevic, who will face a late fitness test and could be ready for tomorrow’s match.
There are a few combination of starters for the forthcoming game, probably one of the triplet van Der Vaart, Jansen and Holtby will remain on the bench.
Hoffenheim
Unlike Hamburg, Hoffenheim started the season superbly. They are playing much better than anyone expected, and will fight for the place in the Europa League, if they manage to keep this fine form
They are still undefeated in the Bundesliga, and they want to keep it that way after their trip to Hamburg.
Hoffenheim doesn’t have a lot of problems with injured players, only Koen Casteels and Sejad Salihovic are sidelined.
Their manager could field up unchanged team from the last match, since everything function well.
