The gap in chance quality is clear: Borussia Dortmund come out at +1.0 a game (chances they create minus chances they give up) compared to -1.0. that's a real edge in the quality of chances.
xG explained: Expected Goals measures chance quality. 1.5 xG = a side typically converts those chances into 1.5 goals. Outscoring xG = running hot, possible regression risk.
Borussia Dortmund create chances worth 2.2 a game (and give up chances worth 1.2), leaving them +1.0 a game on the balance. Hamburger SV create 1.3 (giving up 2.3) for a balance of -1.0. The underlying numbers clearly favour Borussia Dortmund. They're creating better chances AND giving up fewer good ones. A worry for Borussia Dortmund: the chances they're creating lately are worth 1.9 a game, well below their 2.2 season figure. The attacking output has dipped.
Goals look likely here. Borussia Dortmund average 2.0 per game (2.0 at home) and Hamburger SV chip in with 1.8 (1.8 away). Defensively, Borussia Dortmund concede 1.0 at home and Hamburger SV leak 1.7 on the road. We make it 65% for three or more goals. One of the stronger cases for goals today. Whether both teams score is a genuine coin-flip, and we make it 48%. Their past meetings back this up. These two average 3.0 goals when they meet, with 6 of the last 10 producing three or more. Two or more goals at @1.17 is a steadier alternative for accas. The chance-quality data backs the goals case. Borussia Dortmund create chances worth 2.2 a game and Hamburger SV 1.3. Combined, that's 3.4 a game from open play alone.
Both teams score in 41% of Borussia Dortmund's home games and 59% of Hamburger SV's away matches. both teams finding the net isn't guaranteed.
Borussia Dortmund are all-out attack: 2.0 goals a game, but they leak 1.0 at the other end. They'll throw plenty at Hamburger SV, but there are gaps at the back for the visitors to get at. Hamburger SV have goals in them (1.8 per game) but their record at the back (1.7 conceded) leaves them open. This could be end-to-end. The chance data suggests Borussia Dortmund will create openings. The chances they create are worth 2.2 a game and Hamburger SV give up chances worth 2.3 on the road. Expect Borussia Dortmund to see plenty of the ball.
In the last 10 meetings: Borussia Dortmund have won 6, Hamburger SV 2, with 2 draws. These fixtures average 3.0 goals per game. 6 of the last 10 produced 3+ goals. Recent results: Borussia Dortmund 3-2 Hamburger SV, Hamburger SV 1-1 Borussia Dortmund, Borussia Dortmund 2-0 Hamburger SV, Hamburger SV 0-3 Borussia Dortmund.
