Hoffenheim Prediction
Hoffenheim are just about holding onto 6th place and the Europa League qualifier spot despite recording just one win from their last five matches, but they did manage to grab all three points last time out in the Bundesliga when they won 4-2 away at Freiburg.
On a more positive note, the hosts have lost just once in their last 12 matches overall, a run that includes five wins against Nurnberg, Stuttgart, Bayer Leverkusen, Augsburg and of course, the aforementioned Freiburg result.
Hoffenheim have lost just once at home in their last six matches too, which was an understandable 3-1 loss to Bayern Munich, while their home record reads 3-4-3 15/12.
Hoffenheim have scored at least one goal though in 9 of their 10 home matches to date and with the likes of dangerous forwards Kramaric (8 goals), Nelson (6 goals), Joelinton (5 goals) along with Szalai and Belfodil (4 goals apiece), the hosts have plenty of options going forward.
- Hoffenheim have lost just 1 of their last 12 matches in the Bundesliga
- Hoffenheim have scored in 9 of their 10 home matches to date
- Fortuna Dusseldorf have won just 2 of their last 23 away matches
Fortuna Dusseldorf Prediction
Fortuna Dusseldorf have also just about done enough so far this season to avoid being dragged down into the relegation zone as they hold a valuable seven point cushion over third from bottom club Stuttgart ahead of their trip to Hoffenheim this Saturday afternoon.
The visitors had actually put together an impressive four-match winning streak in recent times which included victories against Freiburg, Borussia Dortmund, Hannover and Augsburg, but their purple patch came to an abrupt halt when they were handed a heavy 4-0 defeat at home by Leipzig last Sunday.
Dusseldorf’s away record has improved though in recent weeks thanks to the wins at Hannover and Augsburg as their record now reads a slightly more respectable looking 2-3-4 9/21 but the bigger picture tells us that Dusseldorf’s two recent away wins have been their only successes from their last 23 matches on their travels.
Betting Tips Verdict
Hoffenheim know they must take advantage of home soil here and with their impressive attacking personnel, should put the sword to an unconvincing Fortuna Dusseldorf outfit here.
