The second match at own stadium ended with 1-1 draw in clash with Zwickau. Another notable result is 2-2 draw with Borussia Monchengladbach in very last pre-season friendly. The hosts won’t have any chances in upcoming match, but they should offer a battle to the Bundesliga I representatives.

Hoffenheim were showing notable results in recent years and even managed to make debut in Champions League. However, the last season wasn’t that successful and the team finished 11th in the domestic league. It’s difficult to rate their current form as they played 4 pre-season friendlies, losing 0-1 to Heidenheim, drawing 2-2 with Greuther Furth and 0-0 with Bordeaux reserve team and beating Reims 3-1. Upcoming match will be their first official encounter of the season.
Obviously, the visiting side is favorites of the bookies as representative of elite division. These two teams haven’t met for a very long time as there are no statistics of their head-to-heads on any notable recourses. The hosts have advantage as they already played two competitive matches this season and home fans will add to motivation of the team. Current form of the Hoffenheim is big mystery but the team from top division should definitely advance to the next stage, but it’s hard to except from them a clean sheet in upcoming match.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score.
