Game: DORTMUND vs HAMBURG
Type: GERMAN BUNDESLIGA
Date: 25 April, 2009
PREVIEW
Unbeaten in their last five matches, Borussia Dortmund is proving to be a resilient team especially at home. Four wins on the trot in their last 5 have enabled them to leap-frog to 7th position and in with a chance to play in Europe next season. At home, they remain one of the only two teams yet to be defeated. Despite this, they have drawn 9 times out of 14 home games to date.
Hamburg's aspiration to win the German Cup received a jolt when they were knocked out by Werder Bremen 1-3 in penalties. With only the Bundesliga title to play for, a win will be critical for them to remain within sights of surprise leaders Wolfsburg - who are 3pts ahead in what could be a tight finish between four teams. Away from home, they have yet to draw in their last 10 matches, scoring an average of 1.67 goals while conceding 1.62 goals in return.
KWIK STATS
HOME > DORTMUND

THE PICK
HAMBURG should prove too strong for a resilient Dortmund despite the home team's unblemished home record. The visitors knows a win will enable them to maintain the push for the league title and i don't expect Dortmund to stand in the way.
