  Should be a win for Hamburg, but these early matches can be dangerous. Hamburg should respect them and try to put them away early rather than be arrogant and treat this like a walkover. From the little I’ve seen of Dacia on video, they look to have a pretty decent back four. My early guess would be 4-2 aggregate to Hamburg, though.

  I think the match would probably be more exciting if Hamburg actually act arrogant and are a bit lazy and all that. This would clear the path for some fun embarrassments and schadenfreude.

  One thing that could actually harm Hamburg’s performance is the fact, that they are still in the middle of their preseason training camp so maybe/are not playing at full strength yet. And I don’t know whether Dacia’s coach Emil Caras is some sort of tactical genius who could outsmart Hamburg.:-)
