More markets for the Bundesliga game, scheduled for August 29 at 12:30 PM ET.
Borussia Dortmund hosts Hamburger SV at Signal Iduna Park on August 29 for what appears to be an early Bundesliga fixture, with HSV returning to the top flight after promotion in 2024-25 following seven years in the second tier. Dortmund enters with notable defensive absences, including long-term injuries to Emre Can and Nico Schlotterbeck plus other pre-season concerns, after mixed friendly results under Niko Kovač. HSV brings momentum from their successful promotion campaign but faces a significant step up in competition against a Dortmund side with strong historical dominance in these matchups. Home form, squad rotation needs, and adaptation to Bundesliga pace will shape early-season positioning.
