Hoffenheim vs Wolfsburg Match Preview

Hoffenheim is ranked at 11th place with 27 points and comes after a single win two draws and two losses over the last five matches. Their form has dropped recently and they see themselves ten points behind the Europa League zone, sitting closer to the relegation zone as they are nine points above Mainz. Now that they are out of the Europa League after the loss against Molde their only focus will be the domestic league.

With 37 goals scored so far they have the second-best attack from the bottom half teams and in the last five matches scored a total of nine goals averaging almost two goals per game while managing to score at least a goal in each encounter. Kramaric is expected to play once again from the start as he has already netted 13 goals for them.

Wolfsburg on the other hand is ranked at 3rd place and comes in a perfect run after four wins and a draw over the last five duels. Their season has been improving with each week passing and they seem on the right path to secure a spot in the Champions League for the next season. Now it is nine games in a row that they have not tasted defeat and after losing in the DFB Pokal against RB Leipzig their only goal too will be the Bundesliga. They have also scored 37 goals, like their rivals, and in the last five matches they scored 10 goals averaging two goals per game while managing to score at least a goal per game in four of the last five encounters. For them, Weghorst is expected to play in attack backed up by Steffen and Baku.

In conclusion, I expect both teams to score at least a goal here. Hoffenheim despite a long list of missing players still has more than enough quality in attack and being at home I fancy them to score a goal. Wolfsburg is having a great moment and will seek to continue like that in order to consolidate their position in the top four. Their rivals have a leaky defense with 40 goals conceded until now which makes them one of the worst in the league.
