Both teams did very well in the Group stage of this competition. Hamburg topped Group F with 9 points, City topped Group A with 7 points. Tonight, Hamburg will host Manchester City on the UEFA Cup Quarter Final…
Hamburg
Hamburg are starting to look like a formidable outfit, both in domestic competition, and on the European stage. They are now on top of the table, same points with Bundesliga leader Wolfsburg and surprisingly emerged as one of the candidates for the title.
Manchester City
Manchester City is a different team when playing away from home. Mark Hughes’ side have been without a victory on their travels since winning at Schalke 04 in November, the last time they visited Germany, 13 unsuccessful away days have followed as City have slipped well off the pace in the battle to qualify for a European spot.

Team News
Hamburg will be without Bastian Reinhard, Guy Demel, Thimothee Atouba, Romeo Castelen, Maxim Choupo-Moting, and Alex Silva due to injuries. However, Paolo Guerrero and Colin Benjamin have been passed fit.
Both ex Hamburg players, Vincent Kompany is a doubt and Nigel de Jong is cup-tied. Martin Petrov and Stephen Ireland have travelled with the team but the duo’s match fitness is very much in doubt as they have both just recovered from injuries.
Prediction
Hamburger are in great form now. Even though they will miss a couple of players but these are all essentially back-up players. Man City are terrible in away game and they will miss several first team regulars.
My prediction: HAMBURGER SV -1/2 @ BetUs
