Manchester City hosts
Hamburger SV in the second leg of UEFA-Cup quarterfinals (Thursday, 16.04.2009, 8:45 CET). The “Citizens” lost the first leg in Hamburg with 1:3 and, hence, must win the home match with at least two goals difference to advance the UEFA Cup semi-finals.
Manchester City is the only team left in the competition which has started in the qualifying phase of UEFA-Cup. The “Citizens” are unbeaten in their last five UEFA-Cup home games, recording four wins and a draw. The home advantage should save ManCity also against the Hamburger SV. Last Sunday it put in the Premier League a 1:3-home defeat against FC Fulham.
Hamburg set with the 3:1 victory in the first leg a big step to advance to the semifinals. The away statistic in the running competition is impressive. The club of coach Martin Jol have won all five of their UEFA Cup away matches this season, scoring at least twice in each game. They have lost only once in their last 12 European away fixtures.
