We’re back in the day-to-day league action – and how! The season is already heating up so much in its opening phase that we could do with an ice bath in between. And Friday night brings the next big clash: HSV vs. St. Pauli!
But it’s not just in the 2nd Bundesliga – the Premier League is also serving up plenty of action. Betting preview, alé! ⚽

Holstein Kiel vs. Hannover 96


2. Bundesliga
Saturday, 30 August 2025 | 13:00 CEST
Live on Sky Sport

A stiff breeze up north! League leaders Hannover 96 travel to Bundesliga relegated side Holstein Kiel with another three points in sight.

Things didn’t really click for Kiel at the start. After two opening defeats (1–2 vs. Paderborn, 0–1 vs. Arminia), there was finally a glimmer of hope: a 2–0 win over Greuther Fürth! Coach Rapp’s team is desperate to build on that and get back on the right course.

Hannover, on the other hand, have been flawless so far, taking 9 out of 9 points and beating Magdeburg, Düsseldorf, and Kaiserslautern along the way. Is hope beginning to stir for something truly big?

Hot take: In the end, it’ll finish in a draw!

FC Liverpool vs. FC Arsenal


Premier League
Sunday, 31 August 2025 | 17:30 CEST
Live on Sky Sport

A clash of giants in England’s top flight! League leaders Arsenal travel to Anfield Road to take on defending champions Liverpool.

If it’s goals you’re after, Liverpool delivers. A total of 11 goals in their first two matches, with seven of them scored by the Reds. And one name stands out: Hugo Ekitiké! The new signing from Eintracht Frankfurt has made a flying start, netting twice in his first two appearances and playing a key role in Liverpool’s opening six points.

For the Gunners, it’s all about defensive solidity. Two games, zero goals conceded – and six scored. Top of the table! And here too, a new face has already made its mark. Viktor Gyökeres, the Swedish international, struck twice in the 5–0 win over Leeds.

Who will come out on top in this weekend’s battle of the goal-getters?

Hot take: Liverpool hand Arsenal their first dropped points – and take the win!

Hamburger SV vs. FC St. Pauli


2. Bundesliga
Friday, 29 August 2025 | 20:30 CEST
Live on Sky Sport

At long last, after 14 years, it’s back on the menu: the Hamburg derby in German top-flight football! A floodlit clash between HSV and St. Pauli – does it get any better?

The “Dino” is finally back. And after picking up their first point away at Borussia Mönchengladbach, HSV have gained a much-needed boost of confidence. Sure, it wasn’t exactly a dazzling display, but through sheer determination they managed to rally their fans – and especially to fire them up for the game everyone’s been waiting for.

And the visitors? None other than arch-rivals St. Pauli. Their motto this season: after staying up comes staying up again – and derby wins taste the sweetest. Following a rollercoaster 3–3 draw against Borussia Dortmund, the aim is to carry that momentum forward and turn it into three points. And if that happens, the Reeperbahn will be rocking.

Hot take

St. Pauli win at the Volksparkstadion and claim the city crown!
