Hamburg’s strong home form isn’t good news for Man City
Hamburg/Man City, Thurs 7.45pm, ITV4, Free Bets, Best Odds
Martin Jol’s Hamburg are available at 11/10 with Boylesports to win the home leg of their UEFA Cup quarter-final clash with Manchester City. A glance at their home record suggests that those odds are very generous:
» Hamburg have played 21 matches at the HSH Nordbank Arena, winning 16 of those, drawing three and losing just two.
» In contrast, Manchester City have won just one of their last 19 on the road, drawing seven and losing 11 of those games.
» Only five of the last 14 English UEFA Cup quarter-finalists have progressed through to the final four. Even more significantly, only one won the away leg, with nine losing it.
