Hamburger SV Team News
This will be the sixth season for HSV in Bundesliga 2 and their sixth attempt to achieve promotion. They desperately want to get out of this league.
Last season they finished 3rd in dramatic fashion and later were defeated in a playoff game to Stuttgart.
Hamburg played very efficient games last season with an average of 3.38 goals per game, which was the second-highest in the league. They had the best attack with 70 goals scored but also had little problems with defence and sometimes allowed easy goals.
Also, another problem was their H2H with the teams from the top 6 where they had four victories in 10 games.
HSV finished last season in the run of three consecutive victories and this season again they are one of the favourites for the promotion.

Schalke Team News
Schalke was relegated from Bundesliga last season after finishing in 17th place. They have returned to Bundesliga 2 after only one season.
Last time in 2021/22 season they were champions of Bundesliga 2 and they are hoping for something similar to happen this time.
Schalke was terrible last season. They had the worst attack in the league with 34 goals scored and the second-worst defence with 71 goals conceded. Also, they were awful away from home with only two victories in 17 games.
But now they are in the second tier and the numbers will be much better this season because Schalke is one of the favorites for the promotion.
Even with relegation, they kept a major part of the squad from the last season.
In the first six games, they will play mostly against the teams from the second half of the table last season and this game is probably the hardest.
