Hamburger SV vs FC Schalke 04 Prediction 28 July 2023

One of the main favorites of the 2. Bundesliga Hamburg and Schalke will meet each other in the first round of the league season.

A year ago, Hamburg came close to promotion, but in the end ingloriously laid down their arms in front of the elite representative, Stuttgart (0:3 and 1:3). After recovering from such a shock, the Dinosaurs made some preparations for the new campaign, during which they played against Ferden (3:2), Viktoria Plzen (3:3), Salzburg (1:4) and Rangers (1:2).

At the same time, Schalke, with varying success, performed in duels with Spelle-Venhaus (3:0), Bocholt (2:2), Copenhagen (0:2), Gornik Zabrze (5:0) and Twente (2:2). Let us remind you that in the 2022/23 campaign, Die Knappen were among the newcomers to the Bundesliga, but in the end they finished seventeenth and again found themselves outside the cohort of the strongest.

Both teams are worthy of each other, and their attacking potential is too high for the tournament where they participate. As for us, Hamburg and Schalke will break through the “over” total in a very competitive battle.
