Hamburg are certainly in form, and hope to catch Bayern Munich. Though as much as we all hate Bayern, let's hope BVB doesn't give Hamburg any help this week (they can beat Schalke next weekend instead :D). Tough, tough match from the looks of it though. BVB need to finish chances better and close the backline.

Weidenfeller is expected to be back, always a plus. But Kringe looks to be out with the flu.

For Hamburg, Jarolim and Atouba are expected out. Stefan Beinlich is listed as doubtful.

BVB this year has been like a roller coaster ride. Up....down.....and then up....
Very unpredictable and very inconsistent. They still want to snatch the UEFA place so they will play pretty hard. It's a shame about Kringe, so that Sahin will be taking his place most likely....

It's a must win for Hamburg. Every game is a must win from now until it's over for them to even remotely stay close to Bayern. Too bad that VanderVaart missed so many games due to a very stupid red card and then due to injury. He is the key player for Hamburg and they could be ahead of Bayern now...

Yeah, of course we are not favourites to win this one, but still I have a good feelnig somehow. Atouba is suspended so that Odonkor might have a chance to set his right side on fire again. And we havn't lost in Hamburg since 1997 (3 days before we won the Champions League! ;-).

Yeah I think we're definitely a chance for a result this afternoon. HSV are a good side, and I hope for the Bundesliga's sake they continue to develop into a challenger to Bayern in the next few years, but they've struggled for consistency at times this season. Not to mention the fact that they have Jarolim, Demel and Beinlich missing. I like our chances of getting a point from this.

Great game. What a scoreline!

Great game. What a scoreline!

Well, first of all congratulations to Bayern! They did it again this year!!! Credit where credit is due.....

What a great game by Dortmund. They fought hard, their defense was solid and the boys made some really nice goals. Rosicky rocks!!! I love that guy. And what a bomb by Kringe???? World Class.....

Hamburg slept for 45 minutes and when they woke up, it was too late.

Now I don't know what you guys think, but Weidenfeller had his legs a little too wide open for Ailton to tunnel him and then score, but it still would have been a hard one to get I guess.
So one step closer to a UEFA place.....Hertha tied, so let's hope that Gladbach will lose to Kaiserslautern tomorrow!

An unexpectedly pleasant result. The positive results in Hamburg continue. :cool:

Rosicky back on the scoresheet in fine form as well.

And what a freaking strike by Kringe....

Heck, Rosicky's goal was phenomenal as well!

Congrats!

Great weekend for Dortmund! Hertha tied, Stuttgart lost, Gladbach lost (I do feel sorry for Keller having to reach back 7 times in one week), Hanover REALLY lost....aaaand Dortmund kicked some ass! Despite the fact that anybody between 5th and 10th place can catch the infamous Uefa seat, I hope Dortmund will finally start a win series to set itself apart from the rest of the group.

I agree!

If there's anytime to start a winning streak, it's now. Our next three matches are against our direct competition for that fifth spot.

at Gladbach
home to Bayer Leverkusen and
at Hertha BSC

I think we really need to register victories against Gladbach and Leverkusen because somehow we always figure out how to get our asses kicked in Berlin.

But, if we pull three points in two of the matches, our next matches are:

home to 1. FC Nuernberg (I hope to be there!)
at Hannover 96
home to Eintracht Frankfurt

and the final match of the season is of course,

at FC Bayern Muenchen (Hope to be there if I can find a ticket!)

FCN will give us a battle, but we should win. We took the points in Hannover last year and I think we can again. Especially after they took points from us at our house. We'll get our revenge on Eintracht too.

I just don't think we'll win in Muenchen, but if everything else goes the way I hope, we may already have fifth place sealed.

Especially if we find a way to beat Bayer, Hertha and Hannover.

But that's some rare BVB optimism coming from me. :D

What a great picture. I hope BVB can get it together and nab that UEFA cup spot.
