Hamburg need to stage a mighty comeback if they are to have any hope of playing in the Bundesliga next season.
The first leg of their Bundesliga promotion playoff was one to forget as they lost 3-0 to Stuttgart last week.
Serhou Guirassy, Josha Vagnoman and Konstantinos Mavropanos were all on target for the Bundesliga outfit.
Hamburg are seeking a return to the German top flight for the first time in 5 years and it is looking likely that the wait will continue.
Hamburg also had the best-attacking record in the 2. Bundesliga this season, scoring 70 goals in 34 games.
History favours the Bundesliga side in the relegation playoffs, as the top-tier club have retained their status in 18 of the last 24 seasons.
Can the hosts tap into that supreme goal-scoring form and pull off a remarkable comeback here?
