Hamburger SV vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction
The Bundesliga returns to Volksparkstadion on Saturday, 08.11.2025, when Hamburger SV host Borussia Dortmund in Matchday 10. Kick-off is scheduled for 17:30 GMT+3. This encounter pits a Hamburg side struggling for consistency against a Dortmund outfit that currently occupies a top-three position in the table. Hamburger SV sit 13th with 8 points from nine fixtures (2 wins, 2 draws, 5 defeats, goals 8:15) and have a mixed home record of 2 wins and 2 defeats. Borussia Dortmund arrive in stronger form, placed third with 20 points (6 wins, 2 draws, 1 defeat, goals 15:6) and a reliable away record of 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat.
Historically, Dortmund have dominated recent meetings, including the last direct match which ended in a 2:0 victory for Borussia Dortmund. Over the last five competitive meetings between the two clubs, Hamburg have failed to take a single win or draw, while Dortmund claimed five victories. The contrast in recent form is reflected in their last five matches across all competitions: Hamburg have managed one win and suffered four defeats, whereas Dortmund recorded four wins and a single defeat in the same span. Both teams arrive following heavy 1:4 defeats in their most recent fixtures, which may influence selection and tactical approach for this weekend.
The Bundesliga predictions have covered all the games that could yield a massive score, giving you huge odds.
Main Betting Tip: Over 3.5 goals
Given recent heavy score matches for both clubs and the tendency for open, attacking play when Dortmund face teams that press and commit numbers forward, the match has legitimate potential to produce several goals. Hamburg’s defensive vulnerabilities combined with Dortmund’s efficient forward line make the over 3.5 goals market an attractive, albeit slightly riskier, proposition. The recent matches and the two clubs’ approaches suggest that a match with at least four goals is credible.
Betting Tip 2: HT/FT, 2/2
Dortmund enter the fixture as clear favourites on the basis of squad quality, recent form and head-to-head record. Their offensive efficiency (15 goals in nine matches) and superior defensive numbers overall make them the stronger side on paper. Hamburg’s defence has been breached frequently this season (15 conceded), and their run of one win in five competitive games underlines a lack of momentum. Furthermore, Dortmund’s away form (three wins, one draw, one defeat) indicates they are comfortable picking up points on the road. Hence, we advise you to go for the HT/FT, away/away.

Betting Tip 3: Both teams score? Yes
Despite Dortmund’s overall solidity, they have been involved in matches with goals at both ends, and Hamburg have shown a tendency to score even when conceding multiple goals. The data suggests an open game dynamic: Hamburg have scored eight goals this season and can find opportunities, particularly at home, while Dortmund’s attack is capable of exploiting defensive vulnerabilities. The head-to-head trend also supports multiple-goal contests in which both sides have converted chances. Consequently, backing both teams to score is a sensible supplementary selection to the outright away win.
Statistics for Hamburger SV vs Borussia Dortmund
Hamburger SV team news!
Under the management of Merlin Polzin, Hamburger SV have struggled to maintain consistency this season. The club sits in 13th position with 8 points from nine fixtures. Their home record reads two wins and two defeats in four home matches, and they have a negative goal differential (8 scored, 15 conceded). Polzin faces selection and tactical challenges to shore up defensive frailties while extracting more creative output from attacking players. The recent run—one win and four defeats in the last five games—will place pressure on the coach to adjust strategy and personnel to arrest the decline.
Borussia Dortmund team news!
Niko Kovač’s Borussia Dortmund are occupying a top-three placing with 20 points, combining a strong attack (15 goals) with a comparatively compact defence (6 conceded). Dortmund’s away record is impressive this season, and their recent form—four wins and one defeat in the last five matches across competitions—confers clear confidence heading into this fixture. Kovač will likely emphasize an organised defensive shape transitioning quickly into attack, exploiting Hamburg’s vulnerabilities on the counter and through incisive forward play.
H2H statistics
The head-to-head record between these two sides in the last five meetings is heavily in Borussia Dortmund’s favour: Hamburg 0 wins, 0 draws, Dortmund 5 wins. The most recent direct meeting ended in a 2:0 win for Dortmund. This sustained dominance underlines a psychological and tactical edge for Dortmund, who have consistently found ways to win against Hamburg in recent seasons.
Last results Hamburger SV
In their last five competitive matches, Hamburger SV have recorded 1 win, 0 draws and 4 defeats. The current form is concerning: the side has struggled to produce points consistently and has conceded multiple goals in several fixtures. This poor run has contributed to their low points total and mid-lower table position.
Last results Borussia Dortmund
Borussia Dortmund’s last five competitive matches produced 4 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat, demonstrating robust form. The single defeat amid otherwise positive results suggests Dortmund are largely firing on all cylinders, though occasional lapses—most recently resulting in a heavy loss—indicate areas for refinement.

The recommended betting sequence is: Over 3.5 Goals, Dortmund to win the first half and full-time with both sides scoring at least a goal.
