Hamann urges HSV: You should stay up | OneFootball

TV expert Dietmar Hamann believes HSV has a lot of potential in the Bundesliga. The former national player is confident in their ability to stay up.

With Hamburger SV and 1. FC Köln returning to the Bundesliga for the 2025/2026 season, two true heavyweights are making a comeback. Fans across Germany are excited about the return of these two major traditional clubs and hope for more prestigious conferences than in the previous season.

But how do TV experts view the Bundesliga comeback of these two metropolitan giants? "I believe they will stay up," said Dietmar Hamann at the season opening of Sky about HSV and Köln.

The former Bayern professional sees a clear difference compared to the promoted teams of previous years: "This year is a situation where two teams are coming up, and just from their power and impact alone, you say: If they're back, they should also stay up in the first year."

HSV: Terodde hopes for a "long, long time in the Bundesliga"

Consequently, the 51-year-old predicts an intense relegation battle. Hamann sees teams like FC St. Pauli or 1. FC Heidenheim under particular pressure. But he also sees problems at established clubs like TSG Hoffenheim and Borussia Mönchengladbach. "In Gladbach, it's also relatively fragile, what's happened there. I believe that by the 30th matchday, we'll see at least one team down there that no one can imagine right now," said Hamann.

Former striker Simon Terodde also believes HSV can stay up. He knows the promoted teams from personal experience and wishes both clubs "a very, very long time in the Bundesliga." From the perspective of the second division's record goal scorer, the Rothosen were particularly convincing last season: "For me, HSV played the most attractive football in the 2nd league and deservedly got promoted."
