8/29 Friday 2 strings 1 selected event analysis: Hamburg vs Sao Pauli + Valencia vs Getafe

Bundesliga: Hamburg VS St. Pauli

Time: 2025-08-30 2:30

Venue: People's Park Stadium

"Beijing King" Hamburg won the runner-up in the Bundesliga last season and "finally" got the ticket to the Bundesliga. During the offseason, Hamburg introduced a number of players in the summer window, and the recruitment efforts were quite strong, including attacker Paulson who joined RB Leipzig and Salzburg central defender Capaldo and others. The team's lineup was still greatly supplemented. In terms of recent situation, Hamburg challenged the strong team Borussia Mönchengladbach away in the first round of the league. In the end, Hamburg tied his opponent with a score of 0-0. After returning to the Bundesliga after seven years, he successfully won his first league point, which also greatly increased the morale in the team. It is also worth mentioning that Hamburg performed stably at home. The team's unbeaten rate in the Bundesliga last season was as high as 88.24%, and averaged 2.58 goals per game during the game, with good offensive efficiency at home.

Sao Pauli performed relatively poorly after coming to the Bundesliga last season. In the end, the team won 8 wins, 8 draws and 18 losses and ranked 14th in the Bundesliga standings, and completed the relegation task with a thrilling thrilling victory. During the offseason, St. Pauli's signings were limited. Japanese midfielder Jeoru Fujita, who signed St. Turden, introduced Bielefeld full-back Luis Oppi, and Austrian Kragenfurt centre-back Jannik Robac and goalkeeper Simon Spari. The improvement in the lineup strength was not obvious. Judging from the recent situation, St. Pauli's overall performance in the offseason warm-up stage was remarkable. He delivered a brilliant report card of 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in 6 warm-up matches, showing a good skilled state. However, the journey of the official competition in the new season is slightly bumpy. In the first round of the German Cup, they drew 0-0 with a score of 0 and 0, and could only rely on the penalty shootout to advance with a score of 3-2. However, when they returned to the league, St. Pauli quickly adjusted his state and faced the Bundesliga powerhouse Dortmund at home in the first round. In the end, the team shook hands with the opponent 3-3.

Comprehensive analysis: Hamburg failed to gain a foothold in the Bundesliga this season. Their signing efforts in the offseason were still quite strong and signed several powerful players; while St. Pauli's signing efforts in the offseason were limited. From the perspective of the match, Hamburg won the previous three home matches against Sao Paulo. Obviously, they have a lot of experience in hosting their opponents at home. In addition, the team drew away from the powerful team Borussia Mönchengladbach in the Bundesliga round, and the morale of the whole team has been improved. This game will be stronger when returning to home. To sum up, this game is optimistic that Hamburg can defend its home court.

Recommended: tie/left score: 1-1 2-1 Number of goals: 2/3 goals

La Liga: Valencia VS Getafe

Time: 2025-08-30 3:30

Venue: Mestala Stadium

Valencia achieved 11 wins, 13 draws and 14 losses last season and ranked 12th in the La Liga, with a medium-sized and low-level strength. During the offseason, Valencia successfully raised nearly 30 million euros by selling land around the stadium, effectively alleviating the current financial tightness and successfully signing players such as Uglinic. In terms of recent situation, Valencia performed poorly in the new season. They lost to Osasuna 0-1 away in the last round of the league with one less player. The team only scored 1 draw and 1 loss after two rounds of the league. However, from the perspective of the match, Valencia has won 2 wins and 1 draw against Getafe three times before, and in the last encounter, he defeated his opponent 3-0. Obviously, the former still has the upper hand in the psychological level.

Getafe ended with 13th place in La Liga last season, but the team was only two points higher than the relegation zone and was almost relegated. During the summer window, Getafe made a lot of signings. The team signed up to 9 players, including attacker Juanmi, who joined Betis, and also sold the main defender Omar Aldret to try to optimize the lineup structure. Judging from the recent situation, Getafe performed well in the new season. They defeated Sevilla 2-1 away in the last round of the league. By then, the team had won two consecutive league wins and scored two goals in a single game during the period, and their offensive efficiency was guaranteed. In terms of players, Liso scored three goals in two rounds of the new season, and is currently ranked second in the La Liga scorer list, and his personal form is still quite hot.

Comprehensive analysis: Although Valencia has a certain advantage in the opposition level, judging from the performance of this season, Getafe has performed well in the beginning of the new season. The team has won two consecutive league wins and ranked fourth in the La Liga standings. Valencia has achieved an unbeaten record of 2 wins and 1 draw against Getafe three times before, and in the last encounter, it defeated his opponent 3-0. Obviously, the former still has the upper hand on the psychological level. I am optimistic that Valencia can defend the home court.
