Football – Germany – Bundesliga Betting Tips
Despite Bayern Munich’s dominance at the top of the Bundesliga, there’s still plenty to play for with european spots up for grabs, and Hoffenheim will be eyeing off all three points in Saturday’s clash with second from bottom Cologne as they look to chase down sixth placed RB Leipzig.
Hoffenheim are four points adrift of Leipzig heading into this weekend’s German top flight action, but with a four match unbeaten run under their belts which includes wins over Augsburg and Wolfsburg, and just one defeat from their last seven at their WIRSOL Rhein-Neckar-Arena, the hosts will be confident of taking the points here.
Hoffenheim also possess a decent looking home record of 7-4-2 24/14 along with a potent looking forward line that includes Uth (10 goals), Kramaric (9 goals) and Gnabry (5 goals).
Cologne did their chances of avoiding relegation in the Bundesliga no harm at all last time out when they registered a 2-0 home win over Bayer Leverkusen which followed a recent 2-1 win at RB Leipzig, but the visitors still remain in the relegation zone ahead of their trip to Hoffenheim.
Cologne are still five points adrift of safety too, and with a difficult looking away match here on the back of some mixed results on the road which include wins at Hamburg and Leipzig along with losses at Bayern Munich, Eintracht Frankfurt and Werder Bremen, so anything could happen where Cologne are concerned!
However, an away record of 2-2-9 11/25 shows where Cologne have struggled so far this season, and having failed to score in 6 of their 13 away matches to date, Hoffenheim’s firepower up front could be the difference here.
