After the huge defeat in Munich all are working hard to get back on track and make things easier. It was not only due to the players performance, no it was more a coaching mistake from Zinnbauer who wants control the middle with Van der Vaart and Diaz who are both not known for their fighting spirit. It was only because Behrami is missed hardly in midfield who are a player with a lot of power and pushing midfield player what most of the creative players there do not like. This man was missed in Munich but it was a big collapse from the whole team. This time they want to do better above all at home they are stronger. According to news is Coach Zinnbauer counting on a more defensive minded lineup to bring more stability in their play. He changes some players and count only on fighter. This means that Van der Vaart is on bench today, Diaz got injured and is missed anyway, also Behrami not ready and Jansen is out too. With players like Diekmeier, Djourou, Rajkovic, Westermann, Ostrzolek and Jiracek, maybe Kacar are all more defensive minded players which should bring the compactness today.
The team from Goldbach had an international game on Thursday, they controlled the game in Sevilla but were not able to score the important goal they want for the rematch. They missed a lot of good opportunities and lost in the end very unlucky there. Ok, it was not the knock out but they have to bring all their power on the pitch next week. Maybe Coach Favre rest some players here but after an EL match they are doing hard anyway. They were not able to win after such an important game in 8 attempts. This can be the case again today although they play are very bad side from HSV. The focus is more on the EL game and the changes Favre made today are big. He has done this in all the other matches and he does it again today above all the offensive line is changed always. Important key player Xhaka is suspended today and a big miss for Gladbach in midfield as he was inform right now. The game against rival Cologne showed additional that they do hard if they play deep standing teams because their wings are very fast and need space to overcome the defensive line. This is maybe the next big wall they face today and brings immediately the next problems.
After the big disaster from Hamburg I am sure that they do not the same mistakes again and they put all their focus on defensive work first what makes it not so easy for Gladbach to break them. Also it is a problem for Gladbach to make the game because they are more a counter attacking side with fast players but this time they have to do the organisation for the match. HSV can hurt them with the wings like Stieber and Müller who are also very quick. I am trying this and jump on the run Gladbach has after EL games.
Recommend Bet: Hamburger SV AHC + 0,25 @ 1,92 (3 Units)
