Hamburg are now undefeated in three games after last Friday's 0-0 draw at Eintracht Frankfurt, though that masks the fact that the Red Shorts have only picked up five points from five games in 2016. HSV - who have never been relegated from the Bundesliga - are nonetheless seven points clear of the relegation zone.

Promoted Ingolstadt form has been binary in 2016, with Saturday's 2-0 win over SV Werder Bremen punctuating a run of five games with alternating wins and losses. Die Schanzer are two points better off than their hosts in as a result, though they come into the game without injured veteran defender Tobias Levels.
