Meppen vs Hamburger SV II tips and predictions

Meppen too short in the betting?

This isn't a confident view but the short price for Meppen makes them unbackable. Hamburger SV II don't look likely to go the whole nine yards, but they can certainly ask some questions. Building on the strong rearguard performances of both sides, a goalless stalemate is the pick but it's certainly not something to get carried away with.

There have been some notable displays in defence by both sides. Looking solid under adversity, Meppen have conceded only 1 goal in their last 7 matches and Hamburger SV II have been impressive defensively on the road. They have conceded an average of 0.5 goals per game over their last 4 matches away from home.

In previous matches between these sides 4 of the last 9 have been draws.

The betting markets imply that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match despite the favouritism for Meppen. Whatever happens, with the odds-against price on BTTS No that seems the better option.

Meppen have drawn 4 of their last 10 matches and Hamburger SV II have drawn 7 of their last 18 matches on the road. To wrap this up there is nothing to like about the home or away win odds. Stalemate beckons after what will probably be a close encounter.
