Hamburg vs Borussia Mgladbach on Friday night is a basement scrap in the Bundesliga, and neither side turns up at the Volksparkstadion with much to feel smug about.
Hamburg sit 15th and are trying to avoid a fourth straight defeat. Merlin Polzin's side have the home crowd behind them, and they badly need it.
Borussia Mgladbach prop up the table, three points behind Union Berlin in 16th. Yet Alexander Blessin's side have stopped losing, and that stubborn streak counts for something.
The head-to-head could hardly be more even. Hamburg and Gladbach have two wins apiece from their previous meetings, with the other two ending level.
Hamburg vs Borussia Mgladbach Form
Hamburg are in a rut. Terem Moffi did equalise at Deutsche Bank Park last weekend, but Eintracht Frankfurt still won 3-1 and the defeats keep piling up. A Hamburg win has landed in 4 of their last 10 matches against all opponents, which is mediocre rather than disastrous. Moffi remains their most obvious source of goals.
Borussia Mgladbach are bottom but finally harder to beat. A goalless draw with Paderborn last time out stretched their unbeaten run to three in all competitions. Even so, a Gladbach win has landed in just 2 of their last 10 matches against all opponents. Stubborn, yes. Dangerous, not yet. Shuto Machino leads the line, with Wael Mohya offering support from attacking midfield.

Hamburg
The biggest question over the Hamburg vs Borussia Mgladbach lineups is Sebastiaan Bornauw. Hamburg will make a late call on the defender after he missed training in midweek, though he still features in the probable XI. Nicolás Capaldo and Yussuf Poulsen are also doubtful, Mario Vušković is suspended, and Zakaria El Ouahdi is expected to be recalled by Merlin Polzin.
Borussia Mgladbach
Goalkeeper Moritz Nicolas is out, so Daniel Batz fills in between the sticks in the probable XI. Daiki Hashioka missed training this week and is doubtful, but Franck Honorat returns, which is a welcome lift for a squad also without Tim Kleindienst and Nicolas Kühn.

Hamburg to beat Borussia Mgladbach in the Win Market. They are the home side and the model's favourite. Hamburg carry a 40.8% win probability in the projections. Gladbach trail at around 33%, and with Moritz Nicolas missing in goal, this is a fair price on a home favourite rather than a skinny odds-on quote.
Over 2.5 goals in the Total Goals Over/Under market. The projected total sits at 2.7 goals for this fixture, with both sides expected to contribute. Both defences are vulnerable at set pieces, so a messy evening feels far more plausible than a cagey one.

Hamburg vs Borussia Mgladbach Talking Points
The mood music says plenty. Alexander Blessin admits Gladbach are "still in intensive care" despite recent signs of stabilisation, while Merlin Polzin has dismissed talk of a "final", calling it simply an important game for both clubs. A sold-out Volksparkstadion will feel otherwise. Hamburg like to shoot from distance and attack down the right, and they are good at protecting a lead once they have one. Gladbach at 2/1 with Bet365 do not tempt us, so Hamburg on the front foot and goals at both ends shape our Hamburg vs Borussia Mgladbach best bets.
