Our prediction - Asian handicap (-1) on Hoffenheim
Hoffenheim are playing offensively and hosts need only a victory today, so they are unlikely to change their approach. Bochum are not perfect on defense, so they are unlikely to keep a clean sheet, but the Villagers are also allowing too many goals. We are expecting a high-scoring game.
Our second bet is on total over three goals
