Command Analysis
Koln had the Conference League game scheduled on Thursday, but due to weather conditions hosts had to play on Friday. Steffen Baumgart's men wasted much energy for the match against Slovacko (1:0), but snatched a crucial victory at the end. Players had just a few days to recover and it will surely affect their physical shape in the upcoming match. The Billy Goats also have some selection problems, which don't let them climb higher than the 11th place.
Hoffenheim also had some difficulties in latest matches, losing to Werder (1:2) and Bayern (0:2). Andre Breitenreiter's men picked up just one victory out of five latest matches, now team is hoping to snatch the points from a struggling opponent. The Villagers are 8th in the Bundesliga standings, just three points behind the Champions League zone.

Tip and bets
Koln will be in a poor physical shape and without a number of injuried players. The Villagers are coming for a victory, hoping to break into the European competitions zone. Hosts are unlikely to contain such a strong and motivated opponent, so we are giving a slight edge to the visitors.
Our prediction - Asian handicap (0) on Hoffenheim
We are not expecting a high-scoring game here. Koln will try to play carefully at the back with a hope for a draw, Hoffenheim also won't take too much risk. We think that it will be a slow-paced game without too many goal opportunities.
Our second bet is on total under 3,5 goals
