Hannover 96 looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 4 of their last 10, while hamburger SV is fresh off their 3-0 shutout win against Ingolstadt. Alidou struck first for Hamburger SV in the 13th minute, then Bakery Jatta added another in the 39th minute In the end, Ingolstadt was frustrated by Hamburger SV’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Hamburger SV ended the match with the shutout victory. With 20 points in their last 10 matches Hamburger SV should be reasonably happy with their performance.
