Hoffenheim hosts Borussia Monchengladbach in round 17 of the German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Saturday, December 18th at PreZero Arena (Sinsheim)
Hoffenheim shared points with Bayer Leverkusen in the last match. The teams played a battling 2-2 draw. The Blue-Whites should be commended for this match. They were losing 2-0 but managed to win back. Most interestingly, they scored their two goals in the 80th and 83rd minutes. Hoffenheim is still quite high in the standings, namely, on the 4th line. After 16 rounds, the Blue-Whites have 27 points. But the gap from the 5th position is only one point. In the last game, they confirmed the reputation of the productive team that plays open football. Let me remind you that they have 34 goals scored and 25 conceded. Twelve matches ended with Over 2.5 goals scored. In addition, an exchange of goals was recorded eight times. The team plays very powerfully at home: five wins, one draw, and one loss with a goal difference of 17-7.

In the last round, Borussia Monchengladbach suffered another defeat from Eintracht Frankfurt at home (2-3). It was the fourth loss in a row. In four lost games, the Colts conceded 17 goals and scored only three times. It is surprising that Adi Hütter retains the post of head coach. Everybody sees that things are not going well for him at Borussia. The roster of the team allows it to fight for the TOP-4, but it is only in 13th place in the standings. After 16 rounds, the Colts have only 18 points. The gap from the three outsiders was reduced to one point. Borussia Monchengladbach has conceded 31 goals in the current championship. Only Greuther Furth and Hertha Berlin have worse defensive lines. Beyond that, the Colts earned only four points in eight away games.
In the 2020/2021 season, Hoffenheim was stronger than Borussia Monchengladbach in both matches (1-2 and 3-2). In the previous 13 head-to-head confrontations at PreZero Arena, the following results were recorded: six victories of Hoffenheim, four draws, and three wins of the Colts. How long will the fall of Borussia Monchengladbach last? Perhaps the team will be able to earn points shortly. But I doubt that it will be done in the upcoming match. After all, Hoffenheim became the best team in Germany according to the results of the last five rounds. The Colts have conceded 17 goals in the previous four games. Hoffenheim has scored 15 goals in five previous matches. Besides, do not forget that BM looks awful away, and Hoffenheim is very good at home.
Prediction for the match: Hoffenheim to win with 0.0 handicap
