THE PREDICTION
A clash between two heavyweights of German football as third-placed Hamburger SV host fourth-placed Schalke 04. The two sides are locked together on 29 points and neither will want to go into the winter break on the back of a loss that would have huge ramifications in terms of the league table. With that in mind, a cagey encounter is in prospect with each team prioritising defensive stability and not being beaten. Therefore, the smart play looks to be backing a draw between these two teams, which would likely be seen as an acceptable result for both as it keeps them still in touch of those all-important promotion places.
