Bet Live on the German Cup: Hamburg Faces Bayern Munich

The German DFB-Pokal cup competition is back in full action today for round 2 as Hamburger SV host defending champion Bayern Munich at the HSH Nordbank Arena (8:30pm UK time).

Hamburg's Uphill Battle

From every angle Hamburg is a clear underdog today and it's hard to see the Hamburgers beating the Bavarians, let alone get a draw – they'll be in luck not to lose. Hamburg is currently struggling in the Bundesliga, having won only 1 out of the 9 games the team played, losing 5 others and drawing 3. This adds to the fact that Hamburg was thrashed by Bayern in the DFB-Pokal 5-0 last season, and it doesn’t seem like the team has what it takes for any kind of revenge.

Bayern Dominating the Bundesliga

Bayern Munich is hungry after Sunday's goalless draw against Gladbach, the second goalless draw the team had since its late September meeting with Hamburg. Still, it's hard to see Bayern not scoring today and it's very probable that they will win: The defending DFB-Pokal champion is currently dominating the Bundesliga standing atop of the table with an impressive +19 goal difference.

Pep Guardiola's men are coming against a -9 GD team and the Bavarians are certain to take advantage of Hamburg's bad shape. While Hamburg is playing at home having all the right reasons to do everything in their power to give the fans some relief, it's hard to see Bayern not winning this one.
