xGoals
The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).
The new boys have offered very little up front - but are continuing to restrict Gladbach.

More on those teams

'A proper classic' - Seoane

“Borussia against Hamburg - it’s a proper classic. I’ve never faced HSV personally, so I’m really looking forward to the game. [The narrow DFB Cup win over Atlas Delmenhorst] was a good wake-up call that reminded us not to neglect the basics. We learned important lessons that we want to use in our opening Bundesliga game.”

Polzin on HSV’s top-flight return

“We’re really fired up. It’s amazing what we’ve achieved as a club. We’re rounding off Matchday 1 against a very ambitious side who are steeped in tradition. We’ve obviously made a few changes, but we’re fully prepared. We know what our lads are capable of. I can hardly wait.”

New captains on both sides

Both teams will head into the new season with a fresh face wearing the armband. For the hosts, striker Tim Kleindienst takes the captaincy while HSV have gone down a similar route, with new frontman Yussuf Poulsen being given the honour by head coach Merlin Polzin.

Watch: Hamburg 2-1 Gladbach - highlights

It's been almost seven years since HSV last faced Gladbach. Even though they won at the Volksparkstadion, it wasn't enough to stave off relegation as their ever-present status in the Bundesliga came to an end. It's perhaps fitting that their first fixture back in the top flight is again against the Foals...
