SpVgg Greuther Furth emerged victorious in a thrilling German 2. Bundesliga match against Hamburg SV, winning 3-2 at Sportpark Ronhof | Thomas Sommer. Felix Klaus was the hero for Furth, scoring a hat-trick (41', 57' Pen, 63'). Hamburg's goals came from Jean-Luc Dompé (50') and Robert Glatzel (67' Pen). Despite Hamburg dominating possession with 61.7% compared to Furth's 38.3%, Furth capitalized on their chances, converting four of their twelve shots on target, while Hamburg only converted five of their fifteen. Both teams committed an equal number of fouls (13), with Furth accumulating more yellow cards (4) than Hamburg (1).
The AI-powered pre-game prediction favored a Hamburg SV win, with a 48.1% probability, which proved incorrect. The prediction also did not expect a balanced game. This victory breaks Furth's streak of draws and losses, signaling a potential turnaround in their form, after drawing against Hannover 96 (1-1) and losing to Hertha Berlin (1-0), SSV Ulm 1846 (0-1), and Karlsruher SC (1-0). Meanwhile, Hamburg's recent form has been strong, with convincing wins against SSV Ulm 1846 (6-1) and SV Darmstadt 98 (4-0), but they have also suffered losses against Karlsruher SC (1-2) and TSV Eintracht Braunschweig (2-4) and drew with Schalke 04 (2-2).
Analyzing previous head-to-head encounters, Hamburg has historically dominated Furth, including a commanding 5-0 victory earlier this season. However, Furth's home win in November 2022 suggests they are capable of upsetting Hamburg on their own turf. This game saw Furth using a 3-4-2-1 formation while Hamburg played a 4-3-3 formation. Furth's upcoming matches will be crucial in determining if this win marks a genuine resurgence, while Hamburg will be looking to regain their consistency and solidify their promotion aspirations. The match highlighted Furth's clinical finishing and resilience against a possession-dominant Hamburg side. Furth's improved attacking performance, spearheaded by Klaus, will be key to their success in the remaining games. Hamburg will need to address their defensive vulnerabilities and improve their conversion rate in future matches.

On May 18, 2025, SpVgg Greuther Furth will host Hamburg SV at the Sportpark Ronhof | Thomas Sommer in a German 2. Bundesliga match. AI is predicting a victory for Hamburg SV, with a 48.1% win probability compared to Furth's 26.9%. Hamburg's recent form, including dominant wins against SSV Ulm 1846 and SV Darmstadt 98, contributes to their favored status. Their attacking midfielder, Laszlo Benes, has been in excellent form, dictating play and finding the net consistently. Greuther Furth, on the other hand, has struggled recently, failing to secure a win in their last five games. While Furth's young striker, Tim Lemperle, shows promise, it may not be enough to overcome Hamburg's strong squad. The AI gives a 25.1% probability for a draw, but leans towards Hamburg securing the three points.
