HSV – Wolfsburg Preview

By: Chris | February 28th, 2009

Sunday Die Rothosen entertain VfL Wolfsburg at the ‘Bank. And I don’t know about the rest of you, but I am looking for a little payback.

Hamburg have a little added incentive today as they set out to remedy one of the more egregious defeats in recent memory–a 3-nil schelacking at the hands of Felix Magath’s Wolves back on Matchday 5. Oh, and there’s also a little bad blood between these sides since Wolfsburg striker Grafite stomped on the hand of Joris Mathijsen last year. Funny thing was that Grafite wasn’t suspended by the DFB and Mathijsen was .  .  . Well, Grafite is out of Sunday’s match, but his replacement Edin Dzeko is filling in just fine, thank you very much, having nailed 10 goals in 16 Bundesliga matches so far this campaign. Hamburg are without Collin Benjamin and Jerome Boateng this week (fifth yellow card for each), but the rest of the side look good to go, including Mladen Petric, who returns from a 2 match suspension following a horse-shit red card he received in the loss to Karlsruhe.

Starting XI:

Rost

Demel    Gravgaard    Mathijsen    Aogo

 Jarolim    Alex Silva

Trochowski    Jansen

Petric    Olic

 

SWAG prediction:  HSV’s defense has been adequate so far; if their attack were on par with last season, we’d be in BIG TROUBLE. But it isn’t and we’re not. In their last 10 matches versus Wolfsburg at home, Hamburg have won 5, drawn 4 and lost 1, scoring 17 and conceding 10.  Make mine 3:2 for HSV.

  Hey Chris,
  we miss your great Hamburger SV updates! Guess you must be busy these days. Exciting days they are, with HSV still “dancing on 3 different weddings” (as the German saying goes).
  Take care!
