Preview
Five days after knocking Hamburg out of the DFB-Pokal with a 3-1 win in Hamburg, Eintracht Frankfurt host the same opponents in the league. HSV arrive badly hit. Fabio Vieira and Bilal Nadir both hurt their thighs at Paderborn, Yussuf Poulsen, their joint top scorer with two goals, is out with a hip problem, and captain Nicolai Remberg has a torn cruciate ligament. Capaldo and Torunarigha were carrying muscle problems before the cup tie. Albert Gronbaek is fit again. Frankfurt are 14th on 8 points, one behind 11th-placed HSV, but have steadied since conceding 16 goals in their first five matchdays. Lilian Brassier sat out the cup tie with a knee problem and is expected back. HSV score only 0.75 goals a game away from home. Frankfurt have lost just one of the last 14 Bundesliga meetings, with seven wins and six draws, although that defeat came here in May. The market gives Frankfurt 60%; with HSV's absences we rate the home win at 64%.
HSV's injury list has grown since the cup tie, and Frankfurt already beat them on Tuesday. We back the home win at 64%, at a price that gives us an edge.
