LiontipsUnion vs Hoffenheim. Prediction and bets on the Bundesliga match
Command Analysis
Current form
Union have not suffered a single defeat in the Bundesliga in three rounds. Including the Cup, the Berliners have not lost a single time in four official matches since the start of the season. In the last round, they managed to hold off Leipzig (0:0) on the road, not without some problems. So far, Bo Svensson's pragmatic football, where the emphasis is on defense, has had a positive effect. With five points scored, the Berliners are in ninth place in the table after three rounds.
Disqualifications and injuries
Volland, Juranovic and Prtajin are injured and will not play today.
Interesting trends for betting
- In the four previous home games, Union conceded to Hoffenheim in the first half
- Union have failed to score more than one goal in 8 of their last 11 Bundesliga matches
Estimated line-up : Rennow - Vogt, Duki, Leyte - Haberer, Khedira, Tusar, Rothe - Hollerbach, Schkarke, Vertessen.
Current form
In the first round, Hoffenheim won a high-scoring match against newcomer Holstein (3:2). In the next two rounds, Pellegrino Matarazzo's men lost away to Eintracht with a score of 1:3 and at home to Bayer (1:4). It is obvious that an excessive desire to play open football does not produce a positive effect. Hoffenheim's defense managed to concede nine goals in three rounds, only Holstein has more. With three points, the "blue-whites" occupy a modest 14th place in the table after three rounds.

8.20Tip and bets
The match is too unpredictable for any predictions, considering the opposite tactics of the game. Union is betting on defense, Hoffenheim is playing open and bold football, regardless of the opponent. We think that order and a more complete organization of the game by the hosts will bring success. The Berliners are great at counterattacks, and today they will clearly have more than enough of such opportunities.
Our prediction is Union's victory with odds of 2.05
Bet on total
Union regularly "dries" its matches, not once since the start of the season have more than two goals been scored in matches involving the Berliners. However, Hoffenheim is capable of opening up the game, the team does not know how to act differently. In four of the last six head-to-head encounters, at least three goals were scored, which is what we expect today.
The second bet is total over 2.5 goals with odds of 1.74
Betting on offsides
According to statistics, we recommend paying attention to offsides. Union footballers have not lost in this component in seven of the last eight matches.
Betting Tip - Union will not lose due to offsides with odds of 1.57
