Thomas Mueller of Bayern Munich
Hamburg were inconsistent last season as they battled to maintain winning form. They finished 7th on the log with Artjoms Rudnevs and Son Heung-min their highest scorers, getting 12 goals each.
Hamburg will be looking to restore pride after their last meeting with Bayern when the German giants hammered them 9-2. Bayern Munich have made two huge signings this tranfer window in Mario Gotze and Tiago Alacantra. They were absolutely brilliant last season as they managed to win the treble. The German Bundesliga, UEFA Champions League and the German DFB Pokal.
Pep Guardiola will step in as the new manager after Jupp Heynckes retired at the end of last season. Bayern have a team who depend on each other, there is no player that the whole team has to rely on at times. Mandzukic was their highest scorer in the league with 16 goals, Thomas Muller scored 13 and Frank Ribery managed 10. Arjen Robben is another danger man who could change the game at any given time.
Bayern Munich have won four of the last 5 meetings against Hamburg, scoring 24 goals and conceding just 3. They are tipped to build on that and book themselves a spot in the final.
