1.75Tip and bets
Hamburg will certainly be set for victory today – the dinosaurs, at the very least, are not inferior to their opponents in terms of player selection, play attacking football and are in good shape overall. The Germans have no problems with scoring goals and it is unlikely that the not very stable defense of the FCSB will be able to withstand such pressure. At the same time, Hamburg also makes mistakes in defense a lot and regularly, the red-blues have high-level players up front, the match may well be productive.
We believe that the match will be productive. Betting Tip - total over three goals . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.99
Bet on the outcome
Hamburg will face a very tough fight in the second part of the championship and certainly during the preparation the players will not lack motivation, the reserves will also get their chance and will certainly strive to impress. FCSB is far from optimal shape and it will be difficult to show their best football against such a powerful opponent, it makes sense to take a risk and give preference to the dinosaurs.
Bet - Hamburg win. This bet is offered for 2.25
Bet on corners
Hamburg are the favourites and will probably spend a lot of time attacking, but FCSB is capable of responding, there should be a lot of corners.
Bet - total over 9.5 corners. This bet is offered for 1.75
