Good attempt!
Amaechi receives the ball on the right, just outside the penalty area and aims for the top left corner - he was only half a metre off! The best attempt from the visitors so far.

Hamburg makes two changes
HSV manager Steffen Baumgart makes two changes to his starting lineup compared to the last match (3-0 victory in Düsseldorf): Daniel Heuer Fernandes and Ransford-Yeboah Königsdörffer play in place of Matheo Raab (on the bench) and Robert Glatzel (tendon tear in the hip area).

Black armbands
HSV will wear black armbands today. This is due to the death of former player Willi Giesemann.
Steffen Baumgart on Magdeburg
"Christian Titz certainly wants to show on Sunday that he's doing a very good job in Magdeburg. Their processes are good, they're not at the top of the table for nothing. Their intense runs and other parameters are among the best in the league. It's no coincidence. They're looking very stable, especially away from home."
Christian Titz on Hamburg
"Hamburg have somewhat changed their style of play and are very strong in transition moments. They are the team with the most crosses. Against a top team like HSV, you have to take the chances that come your way. We are aware of the difficulty of the task."
