Hamburger SV are on the verge of a return to the Bundesliga, a league in which they were a founding member and the only club to have remained in the top tier for its entire history, until 2018.
Since then, HSV have flirted with promotion, finishing either third or fourth on every occasion.
However, this season finally looks to be the one where their return is secured, with the German club needing only eight points from the final four league games to guarantee their return.
According to WhoScored, they are the fourth-highest-scoring team from set pieces, with 13 of their 65 league goals (20%) coming from dead balls.
Who knows, maybe set-pieces will push HSV back into the top flight of German football.
This tactical analysis will focus on their success from corner kicks, which has seen them score nine goals, a joint league high.
This set-piece analysis will examine Merlin Polzins tactics during set pieces, with a particular focus on how they attack the near post through a range of structured and well-rehearsed methods.
We will also analyse the different ways Hamburger create threats in the box, as well as highlight the potential limitations and areas for further improvement in their routines.
