Premium Tips

Andy expects a close game and leans towards a share of the spoils.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Yousef Poulsen to score anytime and Nadiem Amiri to assist anytime16/1The underlying creative case rests on Amiri, who is Mainz’s chief supplier: he racked up 69 chances created (key passes) in the sample and shoots plenty himself, with 57 shots and 12 goals, so he is constantly involved around the box. Poulsen offers a striker’s goal threat for Hamburg at home against a Mainz side still finding its feet.
Hamburger SV or draw (Double Chance) and both teams to score7/5The double chance leans on Hamburg’s home advantage in the Volksparkstadion, where they thumped Mainz 4-0 in the most recent home meeting, giving the cover of a home win or draw a solid base. The both-teams angle is supported by the fixture’s history of trading goals, with recent meetings including 3-2, 3-1 and 1-1 scorelines.

How Hamburger SV go into the game

Hamburger SV were beaten 2-0 at Dortmund on the opening weekend, a tough start back in the top flight. The Volksparkstadion will demand a response.

Newly promoted, Hamburg are organised and will fancy their chances at home against a beatable Mainz.

How Mainz 05 go into the game

Mainz drew 0-0 with Paderborn on the opening weekend, a cautious start. They travel to Hamburg looking for a first win.

Well-organised and hard to beat, Mainz will look to frustrate Hamburg and nick something. A sharper edge in attack is needed.
