(Reuters) - 'Bundesliga Dinosaur' Hamburg SV's battle to avoid their first relegation season hots up on Sunday and coach Mirko Slomka is hoping a win at Borussia Moenchengladbach will provide the turning point.

The former European champions are the only team never to have played in the second division since the Bundesliga was set up in 1963, hence their dinosaur nickname.
