Hamburger SV have had a rough run of results lately, losing three of their last five and still searching for steady form. Schalke, on the other hand, come in looking a bit sharper, having won a couple of those recent matches and staying competitive in the others.

These two teams know each other well, and their recent meetings have generally been tight, with several ending level and a surprising number of goals along the way. It's shaping up to be a close, fairly open game between two sides that aren't far apart, so a draw feels like the most likely outcome.
