Hoffenheim hosts Union Berlin in round 33 of German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Saturday, June 20th at PreZero Arena (Sinsheim)
After 32 rounds, Hoffenheim is on the seventh line that gives the right to play in the qualification for the Europa League. The Blue-Whites have 46 points, like their direct competitor Wolfsburg, so qualification is not the ultimate dream. Hoffenheim can compete for a direct ticket and get in the group stage. After a pause, Hoffenheim played three matches and achieved three different results – an away draw with Fortuna, a failure in the home game against Leipzig, and an away victory over Augsburg in the last round. Having only one point less, Freiburg “snaps at Hoffenheim’s heels” and also wants to go to Europe next year, so the hosts can’t stumble in the upcoming meeting. And I believe that Hoffenheim’s players will have enough motivation and skill to earn the coveted three points.

The Berliners showed a quite good start after a forced pause, having tied with Schalke and beaten FC Koln and Paderborn. But as they say, "enough’s enough." Union Berlin, which showed a terrible game before the quarantine, will approach the upcoming game in a good mood, but with small personnel losses. The main defender, Christopher Lenz, will not play, and it will significantly weaken the defensive redoubts of the Berliners. Besides, several football players will most likely miss the match - Opfermann, Polter, and Ryerson. Even without the support of the stands, it will be extremely difficult to take points from Hoffenheim in its home arena. Therefore, I do not think that sensations should be expected.
I will fully agree with the bookmakers, who consider the hosts as pronounced favorites. Union Berlin has small problems with the lineup and a lower class of performers. Beyond that, the only head-to-head meeting that took place in Berlin ended in Hoffenheim’s convincing victory (0-2). Hoffenheim looks better, scores more, is higher in the standings, and claims to be in European cups. They need this home victory like air. And I think they will gain it.
Prediction for the match: Hoffenheim to win
