Hamburg – the shape of the team and its analysis:
The "Red Shorts" finished last season at a familiar yet disappointing level. They placed fourth, just below the position that would have given them a shot at promotion through playoff matches.
In the new campaign, the team continues under the guidance of Baumgart, who took over last winter. Their opening match was against his former team, Cologne, and they secured a win thanks to a brace from Königsdörffer.
Hertha – the shape of the team and its analysis:
The "Old Lady" was relegated to the second division again in 2023 and aimed to return to the Bundesliga 1 immediately, as they did last time. However, the supposed favorites ended up stuck in mid-table, finishing in ninth place.
For the new season, they began with a new head coach, Fiel, who was poached from Nuremberg. His official debut was in the first round against Paderborn. After conceding twice before halftime, they ultimately lost 1-2.
