A German derby, between two well know rivals, Hamburg and Bayern Munich.
Hamburg currently 5th with 8 games and 14 points in total, and a home record of W2 D1 L1.
Bayern Munich didn’t start the season well, taking the 10th spot with 11 points, and an away record of W1 D0 L2.
The last two times both teams met on this stadium, the games ended 1:0, in favor of Hamburger. After the loss at home from Wolfsburg and the loss away from Werder Bremen, Hamburg picked up the pace and they recorded two wins against Kaiserslautern, and the unbeaten until that game Mainz 05.
Bayern has done perfectly well at home, in the most recent games, but they were beaten by the leader Dortmund away from home, with 2:0.
Here are a few more interesting facts about the two teams:
* This is the 50th time that Hamburg have hosted a competitive match against Bayern. The Munich side have not scored at Hamburg in 200 minutes.
* FC Bayern have only won one of their last seven matches against Hamburg (three draws, three defeats).
* If Bayern lose this match, they will have recorded as many defeats as in the entire of last season.

Bayern Munich to win @ 2.70 (Bet with the highest odds at Betfair.com – 25£ FREE BET): Hamburg haven’t been convincing lately, and their defense lacks of speed. Bayern needs this victory to move up from the 10th spot and to finally feel a bit more secure since the season started. Although this seems to be a 3way game, I believe that Bayern Munich will grab the 3 points here.
