Hamburg are still searching for their first goals and points of the 2026-27 Bundesliga campaign as they host Koln on matchday four. This match at Volksparkstadion in Hamburg between the 18th-placed ‘Red Shorts’ and the 12th-placed ‘Billy Goats’ could end up being an entertaining affair with over 2.5 goals, our match prediction.
After three matches, Hamburg are at the bottom of the standings with zero points (L3), conceding 12 goals and scoring none. Koln’s four points (W1, D1, L1) put them two points outside the top six.
A 5-0 away defeat at Leipzig last weekend made it three defeats on the spin for Hamburg. Each of those losses came with a clean sheet, as they continue to struggle at both ends of the pitch.
Even their home form hasn’t been up to scratch as the Red Shorts have lost four of their last seven home league games (W1, D2).
Koln held Werder Bremen to a 1-1 home draw last weekend, bouncing back from a 4-1 loss to Stuttgart on matchday two. Thanks to wins on matchday one and in the DFB Pokal, they have two victories from four competitive games and nothing major to panic about yet.
That said, away form has been a big concern for Koln, whose last away league win came in October 2025 – drawing six and losing eight hence.

Our Hamburg vs Köln Prediction
Hamburg are the only side in this Bundesliga campaign yet to score a goal or win a point, justifying their status as the table laggards. The way is only up, but they need to find a way past Koln. The visitors have shown indifferent form, but just a defeat in four competitive matches this season suggests they are likely to fancy their chances on this trip.
Hamburg have conceded a league-high 12 goals already, while Koln have conceded seven, which means this game is likely to be a high-scoring one. Our Hamburg vs Koln prediction is over 2.5 goals.
