Betting on TSG 1899 Hoffenheim
Hoffenheim has had a tough time in 2023, and the team’s inconsistency has left it closer to relegation than anything else. With only eight wins, five draws, and 15 losses, it has only managed to accumulate 29 points so far this season.
Its weak defense has been a major issue this campaign, conceding a whopping 47 goals. Unfortunately, its offense hasn’t been able to make up for it, only scoring 38 goals.
Despite this, the home team comes into this match in a much better form than its overall season. In fact, it has gone unbeaten in its last four games, including three consecutive wins and a surprising draw against Bayern Munich in its last Bundesliga match.
Possible Lineup (3-4-2-1): Oliver Baumann; Kevin Akpoguma, Kevin Vogt, John Brooks; Pavel Kaderábek, Angelo Stiller, Dennis Geiger, Angeliño; Andrej Kramaric, Christoph Baumgartner; Ihlas Bebou.
Betting on FC Köln
The season for Cologne has been quite similar to that of its upcoming opponent, with seven wins, 11 draws, and 10 losses, placing it just a couple of positions above its rivals with only a three-point difference.
Its current form is also comparable, having gone three games without a loss, with two draws and one win. It has scored 37 goals and conceded 46 so far this season, achieving almost identical stats to its hosts.
However, it now faces the challenge of playing away from home, which has not been a favorable scenario for the team, having only registered two wins, six draws, and six losses. In these matches, it has conceded 31 goals against it, accounting for almost 70% of the total goals it has conceded this season.
Possible Lineup (4-1-4-1): Marvin Schwabe; Benno Schmitz, Timo Hubers, Julian Chabot, Jonas Hector; Ellyes Skhiri; Kingsley Schindler, Eric Martel, Florian Kainz, Linton Maina; Davie Selke.
JefeBet Prediction
The season both teams have had, combined with their current form, suggests that this will be a very evenly matched game. In fact, in their first encounter this season, they ended up with a tie.
However, Cologne’s poor performance as visitors makes us think that this will be an advantage for Hoffenheim, who will try to show its strength at home. Therefore, at JefeBet, we expect a win for the home team.
Prediction: Hoffenheim Moneyline (HOF 2-1 COL)
