Latest news
Hamburger
The main news for the hosts is the return of Mario Vušković. The club have confirmed that the defender will play against his former team. Nicolás Capaldo is also expected back: the Argentine missed the previous four competitive matches with a muscle injury and has resumed training.
Hamburg also have personnel problems. Captain Nicolai Remberg is still recovering from a cruciate ligament tear. Miro Muheim has muscle problems, Fábio Vieira is recovering from a thigh injury, and Terem Moffi is doubtful because of a knee problem. In addition, nine players have joined up with their national teams.
HNK Hajduk Split
The Croatian club will also travel to Germany without a full-strength squad. Head coach Gonzalo García has named 24 players, including members of the youth team and players who play for partner clubs. Captain Marko Livaja is on the list, along with Michele Šego, Halil Fayyad and Dalisson.
Dennis Hadžikadunić, Adrion Pajaziti and Ivica Ivušić will miss the trip through injury. Leander Dendoncker and Alec Van Hoorenbeeck are also absent from the squad, while several players have joined their national teams. As a result, Gonzalo García has an opportunity to assess his immediate reserves and give younger players some game time.
Predicted Lineups
📋 Predicted starting XI for Hamburg: Heuer Fernandes - El Ouahdi, Bornauw, Torunarigha, Muheim - Sambi Lokonga, Adeline, Pherai - Jatta, Glatzel, Røssing-Lelesiit.
📋 Predicted starting XI for Hajduk Split: Stipica - Melnjak, Marešić, Sablić, Gabrić - del Moral, Fayyad, Dalisson - Šego, Livaja, Carlos Martín.
Both Teams to Score Prediction
Both teams go into the friendly with players missing, but that does not rule out a high-scoring game. Hamburger will have the backing of more than 50,000 fans, while the match will give Hajduk Split’s young players a good opportunity to prove themselves. Given the experimental line-ups and the nature of the match, goals from both sides look quite likely.
Prediction: Both Teams to Score - Yes at odds of 1.50.
High-Risk Bet
Hamburger are playing at home and will have strong backing from the stands. Even with several key players absent, the hosts have enough quality to threaten the opposition goal regularly. Hajduk Split will arrive in Germany with a large number of young players, who will find it difficult to contain the German side’s attacks throughout the match. The bet is Hamburger to score in both halves at odds of 2.55. *The odds are approximate and may vary between bookmakers.*
Safer Bet
Despite the match being a friendly and the possibility of rotation, Hamburg look the stronger side. The German club play in the Bundesliga, are at home and will have strong support from their fans. Hajduk Split, meanwhile, will be without several first-team players, and the coaching staff will make extensive use of youngsters. The hosts therefore should at least avoid defeat.
Bet - Hamburg to Win or Draw (1X) at odds of 1.27.
⭐ Editor's Pick
The match marks the return of Mario Vuskovic, so for Hamburger, it is not just the result that matters, but also the chance to put on a real celebration for the fans. We expect the hosts to play proactively and both teams to create enough chances. Hajduk Split could also capitalise on their opponents’ changes in personnel, making a high-scoring match the most likely scenario.
Main prediction - Total Goals - Over 2.5.
