Marcell Jansen has warned Celtic to expect a different Hamburg team in their Europa League Group C clash in the Nordbank Arena.
The Bundesliga side went top of the pool last month with a 1-0 victory at Parkhead but it was not without some nervy moments for the visitors either side of Marcus Berg's 63rd-minute winner.
Celtic were left frustrated by the narrow and perhaps undeserved defeat which left them on one point from three games, and they know victory is essential if they are to have any hopes of qualifying out of the group.
However, Germany full-back Jansen believes the visitors' task will be all the more difficult with Hamburg looking to show a more positive side to their game.
"I think we can take a lot from the game at Celtic," Jansen said. "But now that we are playing at home, the shoe is on the other foot.
"They had to attack in front of their own fans but it will be a different game tonight when we are in front of our supporters and things look good for us. Celtic will stay back and play on the counter attack, but we are in a good situation and obviously we want to win and get through."
