Hamburger SV is one of the largest clubs in Germany. In the New sticker on T-Online you will find all the important messages about the “red pants”.
With a victory against Ulm on Saturday, the HSV would have been up to the Bundesliga. There could even be one more reason to celebrate-the Hamburgers could secure the second division championship.
To do this, the 1. FC Köln would have to lose on Friday (from 6.30 p.m./Sky) at the 1st FC Nürnberg. The Cologne residents then stayed with 55 points, the HSV would be 59 points in the event of its own success. Because all other teams in this scenario could take a maximum of Cologne, the title would be determined prematurely.
In terms of sport, HSV is close to returning to the Bundesliga. A victory on Saturday evening (8.30 p.m./Sport1 & Sky) would make the climb perfect prematurely. Even a draw could be enough – provided the pursuers from Elversberg and Paderborn Patzen.
Polezin has almost all options in terms of personnel, but has to do without central defenders Dennis Hadzikadunic, which fails due to ankle and knee injuries. Captain Sebastian Schonlau is also missing yellow-locked. Possible replacement candidates are Lukasz Poreba or Silvan Hefti.
Coach Merlin Polzin from Hamburger SV called HSV fans to passionate support before the decisive home game against SSV Ulm. “The city and all HSVers burn on this game,” Polzzin wrote to X. Even in difficult phases of the game, the team needs the support of the supporters.
Every stadium visitor has “the task of pushing the team at the most.” According to Polzin, the tension in the sold-out folk park stadium is huge-however, the 34-year-old warned of the fighting opponent: Ulm will play “very nasty football”, in a positive sense.
Spanish ex-professional footballer Gerard Piqué fingers crossed that second division club Hamburger SV creates the promotion to the Bundesliga. “It’s a very important game this Saturday. You told me that,” said the 2010 world champion at the digital and marketing fair OMR in Hamburg. “I hope Hamburg can climb and come back to the first division. I know it’s a very important club. You have suffered a bit in the past few years.”
The longed -for return to the Bundesliga can make Hamburgers perfect on Saturday evening (8.30 p.m.) with a home win against the penultimate SSV Ulm prematurely.
Dennis Hadzikadunic will no longer play for HSV this season. The 26 -year -old central defender injured himself in Darmstadt. He moved “a partial tear of the inner ligament on the right ankle and a partial tear of the inner ligament on the right knee,” said HSV on Tuesday. He will definitely fail against Ulm on May 10th and Fürth (May 18).
The Bosnian came to the Elbe in 2023 on a loan from FK Rostov from Russia. Since then he has been running in a total of 52 competitive games (two goals) for the HSV. Hadzikadunic played 25 games (one goal) this season.
The HSV has a historical chance against SSV Ulm: on May 10, Hamburgers can make the Bundesliga promotion perfectly. T-online shows the different scenarios:
Wins The HSV on Saturday evening (8:30 p.m./Sky and Sport1) against SSV Ulm is secure the promotion to the Bundesliga regardless of the results of the competition. The lead in third place would then be at least four points on only one outstanding match day.
At a draw Against Ulm, the climb depends on how the direct pursuers SV Elversberg (against Eintracht Braunschweig) and SC Paderborn 07 (against 1. FC Magdeburg) play on Saturday afternoon. If both teams do not win their games, the HSV would also be determined with a tie as a promoted. However, if one of the pursuers wins, the decision on the last match day would be postponed.
