Watch: Hamburg Derby - A Top-Two Tussle

Hamburger SV are a big club with a big history, the cosmopolitan foot-ball face of one of the world’s great port cities. St. Pauli, traditionally less loftily ambitious and with a distinct alternative agenda, are rooted in the colourful working-class neighbourhood that includes the renowned Reeperbahn. A city rivalry that is a fascinating study in contrasts and comes with an added twist when they meet in Bundesliga 2 on Friday: hosts St. Pauli kick off this derby top of the table, three points clear of second-placed fellow promotion hopefuls HSV.
