Team Analysis
Hamburg has been a focal team in the German second division every year, but peculiarly, they seem unwilling to promote to the Bundesliga. In the 2. Bundesliga, they have the ability to control games, thus dominating proceedings. This season at home, the team still manages to win a good number of matches, with a winning rate close to eighty percent. However, the issue lies in the recent two home games, which ended in defeat. Additionally, after the break, there has been a reversal in home and away performances, with victories occurring away but losses at home.

Hannover's schedule in the first half of the season was relatively ordinary. In the first 17 games, the team won only 6, drew 6, and lost 3. Although they suffered few defeats in the first half of the year, due to their weak away performances, the team could only rank in the middle of the table. However, upon the league's return, they managed to win two consecutive home games, indicating a very positive state. The problem is that this good form is limited to home games, while their away performances are still lacking.

Odds Analysis
In the first half of the season, Hamburg's home performance was quite good. Therefore, they often had a considerable handicap at home, even against mid-table teams, they usually had to give a goal or more handicap, and even against the then-leader Dusseldorf, they still had to give half a ball handicap, indicating a weak home dominance. However, in the first round of the season, Hamburg had to give only a half-ball handicap when playing away, which is relatively shallow compared to the changes in the away performance. Compared with the recent handicap against mid-table teams, this handicap seems a bit shallow, meaning the data side doesn't have much confidence in the home team's victory. Therefore, this match of Hamburg is tempting but difficult to win.
