Bayern Munich vs Hamburger form
A few decades ago, Hamburger was considered Bayern Munich's biggest rival in domestic competition. But now, a significant gap has opened up between the two sides in terms of class and experience.
While Bayern Munich has maintained its dominant position, Hamburger has declined and is now a pale shadow of its former self. In fact, since the 2018/19 season, the Volksparkstadion team has not maintained a presence in the Bundesliga.
It was only thanks to their runner-up finish in the German Second Division last season that Hamburger returned to Germany's top league after a long seven-year absence.
As a newly promoted team, Hamburg's main and most practical task remains modestly focused on avoiding relegation.
But this is certainly not an easy journey. After two rounds, the team under the guidance of coach Merlin Polzin has only managed to pocket 1 point from a goalless draw against Borussia Monchengladbach. In the most recent round, Hamburger lost 2-0 to St Pauli.
In fact, even before their struggles in the lower leagues, Hamburger had long ceased to be a worthy opponent for Bayern Munich. In the last 40 encounters between the two sides, the visitors have lost 26, drawn 7, and won only 7.
If we only consider matches played at Allianz Arena, the disparity becomes even more apparent.
Specifically, in the last 7 encounters in Munich, Bayern have won every single match, scoring 44 goals and conceding only 3. Notably, 6 out of 7 matches ended with a victory by at least 5 goals in favor of the home team.
At this point, no one doubts that Vincent Kompany's team can replicate a similar "devastating" result. The difference between the two sides is simply too great.
Bayern Munich's current form is also completely opposite to that of their opponent. The Bavarian giants have won all four of their matches since the start of the season.
Under the leadership of Harry Kane, the attacking line is still performing very well. On average, the home team's strikers have scored 3.5 goals per match.
The only question fans are probably interested in is how many goals Bayern Munich will score against Hamburger.
With a tough match against Chelsea coming up next week in the opening round of the Champions League qualifying stage, Kompany's team will probably not go all out to seek a victory by a large margin.
