Hamburger vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction and Betting Tips | November 8th 2025

Borussia Dortmund return to action in the German Bundesliga when they visit the Volksparkstadion to face Hamburger on Saturday. Having lost the last five meetings between the two teams, Merlin Polzin’s men will head into the weekend looking to get one over the visitors and snap their run of three consecutive league defeats.

Hamburger were sent crashing back down to earth last Sunday when they fell to a 4-1 hammering against Koln when the two sides squared off at the RheinEnergieStadion.

Before that, Polzin’s side snapped their run of two consecutive defeats on October 28, when they edged out 10-man Heidenheim in the DFB Pokal second round.

Having gained promotion from 2. Bundesliga last term, Hamburger have picked up eight points from their nine league games so far to sit 13th in the table, level on points with 12th-placed Wolfsburg.

Elsewhere, Borussia Dortmund saw their unbeaten start to the UEFA Champions League campaign come to an end on Wednesday when they were thrashed 4-1 by Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.

Niko Kovac’s side now turn their attention to the Bundesliga, where they have lost just one game this season, which came on October 18, when they were beaten 2-1 by rivals Bayern Munich in the heated Der Klassiker.

Dortmund have picked up six wins and two draws from their nine league games so far to collect 20 points and sit third in the standings, two points behind second-placed RB Leipzig.
