Hamburg are still without a win and rooted firmly to the foot of the Bundesliga table, with the Red Shorts’ latest mishap a 3-0 defeat to 1. FC Köln.

Dortmund have dropped points in their last four league outings, drawing three in a row, culminating in the goalless Revierderby on Matchday 9. They can count themselves unlucky not to have beaten FC Schalke 04 in a compelling clash, with Ousmane Dembele striking the crossbar in the second half.
