Borussia Dortmund will begin the 2026/2027 Bundesliga season, but they have already lost the German Super Cup to Bayern Munich. Sportsbooks are quick to consider the Black and Yellow heavy underdogs when they face their biggest rivals. Last season, Dortmund finished second, but 16 points behind Bayern. On Saturday, they will be at Signal Iduna Park to face Hamburg.
Croatian manager Kovac wants to guide Dortmund through this successful period; even though the team parted ways with Adeyemi, they retained Guinean striker Guirassy, who is expected to be their leading scorer again after netting 17 goals in the previous Bundesliga campaign. As always, a great atmosphere is expected, brought by Dortmund's passionate fans, but a victory is also anticipated, as the Black and Yellow have won their last 11 home league openers.
Hamburg closed out their preseason with a 2-1 win against Toulouse and resumed their cup campaign with a 3-0 victory over Verl. Polzin's team secured the win with a brace from Gronbaek and another goal from Lemke. This victory sets the tone for what the fans of this traditional club are hoping for this season. However, it's worth noting that the team's activity in the transfer market was, in reality, quite limited.

Our Borussia Dortmund vs Hamburg Prediction
Last season, Hamburg more than fulfilled their objective of establishing themselves in the Bundesliga. It was their promotion season and their first time back in the top flight since 2018.
Even so, Hamburg seemed far from a top-10 finish, especially as the team was losing form and consistency, particularly away from home. As visitors, Hamburg won only 3 out of 17 matches in the 2025/2026 Bundesliga season. This looks like the ideal match for Dortmund to start the new season with confidence.
Our prediction for Borussia Dortmund vs Hamburg is: Borussia Dortmund -1.5.
