A team in top form, the hosts. A team that went to lay down the law at Bayer Leverkusen last weekend. Hoffenheim, after the defeat in the first round of this season’s competition, placed the important double blow, winning the challenge we told you about, which was the sequel to the one against Bochum. In short, against an Auusburg who only have to fight for safety, there seems to be very little doubt about the final result of this challenge.
Yes, it is true, the guests have only won one match this season and they did it away at Leverkusen. But then they lost both matches played at home against Freiburg and Mainz. It seems difficult, in short, to think that they can impose themselves on such a difficult pitch against a team that is almost running on all cylinders and that seems to want to exploit this momentum in an important way.
The Prediction
Three goals in total, at least, and Hoffenheim winning. There are few doubts in this match, and even the bookmakers seem to be putting their money on a win for the hosts. A match that could provide a lot of excitement for what, moreover, has been the path of these two teams so far. There is sure to be fun to be had.
