Hamburg vs Erzgebirge Aue Predictions

• Over 2.5 goals has been a winning bet in seven of Hamburg’s last nine home games
• Erzgebirge Aue have won just one away game this season
• Hamburg have only lost two home games all season
• Erzgebirge Aue have conceded 12 goals in their last five games

Hamburg still in promotion fight

Hamburg will be looking to keep their promotion hopes alive after a dip in form when Erzgebirge Aue visit Volksparkstadion.

This match is Hamburg’s game in hand on most of the division, and a much-needed win would take them up to sixth place, within six points of second-placed Darmstadt in the race for automatic promotion to the Bundesliga.

Die Rothosen are winless in five league games, conceding nine goals, but will hope to turn their fortunes around against a struggling Erzgebirge side.

Erzgebirge leaking goals

Erzgebirge have had a miserable season, and the torment is showing no signs of letting up. The Veilchen have conceded three goals in four of their last five games, and average 2.75 goals conceded across their last eight games, so expect the goals to flow here, with Aue also having scored eight in their last six.

Hamburg have also been involved in some high scoring games of late and over 2.5 goals has been a winning bet in four of their last five overall, while seven of their last nine at home have seen three or more scored in total.

Hamburg’s home record will be vital

This clash may prove to be a match made in heaven as far as Hamburg are concerned. Erzgebirge have only won once away all season, while the hosts boast an impressive home record, losing only twice this term.

Hamburg have also only lost one game to any side outside of the top eight in the league, so it’s difficult to see Aue leaving with anything from the Volksparkstadion. A 3-1 win for the hosts appeals in the correct score market, as Erzebirge have conceded exactly three goals in each of their last three trips and Hamburg have just one clean sheet in their last six at home.
