Resurgent under young coach Julian Nagelsmann, Hoffenheim recorded a surprise victory over VfL Wolfsburg last week to lift themselves to within three points of safety. The Sinsheimers' away form, though, has been disastrous this season and Nagelsmann's troops have won none of their last nine games on the road.

After a narrow defeat to Bayer 04 Leverkusen on Matchday 27, Hamburg are yet to fully extricate themselves from the relegation fight, and with seven points separating them from the bottom three, victory in this one would go a long way to helping Bruno Labbadia's side secure their position in mid-table.
