Tip and bets
In our opinion, a bet on home team is a best choice. Hoffenheim looked wonderful in recent home matches and we don't think that they will sacrifice a cup match, they have enough resources to play in numerous competitions. Almost in each of home matches club scored at least two goals.
Clubs also played against each other one month ago and back then, Villagers recorded a deserved victory.
Our prediction - Hoffenheim to win
We think that we should place a bet on total over. In most recent head-to-head matches goals were scored by both sides, we are expecting the same result today. Freiburg should be able to score, it is tough to keep a clean sheet in the match against them. Hosts have even better offensive line, so they should be able to score at least three goals.
Our second bet is on total under 2,5 goals
