The Bundesliga season kicks off for RB Leipzig as they host Hamburger SV on September 13, 2026. Leipzig, yet to play a league game this season, will be eager to start strong against a Hamburg side that endured a challenging previous campaign, finishing with 8 wins, 10 draws, and 14 losses. HSV's recent form is concerning, having secured just one win and one draw in their last five outings.
Historically, this fixture has favoured Leipzig, who have won three of the last four encounters, including a dominant 4-0 victory and two 2-1 wins. Hamburg's last league match against Leipzig ended in a 1-1 draw. The odds heavily favour a home win for Leipzig at 1.393, reflecting their superior quality and the stark contrast in recent form. With the Over 2.5 goals market also looking strong at 1.44, expect an attacking display from the hosts. All eyes will be on Leipzig to lay down an early marker, while Hamburg will be desperate to defy expectations and avoid an immediate slide.
