LiontipsWolfsburg vs Hoffenheim. Prediction and bets on the German Cup match
Command Analysis
Current form
Despite significant losses in the starting lineup, Wolfsburg have gone six games in a row without defeat, winning the last three. Thanks to such successful performances, the club has come closer to the top six in the European Cup, lagging behind it by only two points.
In the last round of the German Cup, Wolfsburg made a real splash, knocking out Borussia Dortmund, beating the Bumblebees in extra time. The upcoming opponent is not so formidable, and if the hosts play with the same dedication, they will most likely secure participation in the quarter-finals of the tournament.
Disqualifications and injuries
Due to injuries, Bialek, Bornov, Klinger, Meyer, Nmecha, Paredes, Rogerio and Vrankx will not play.
Interesting trends for betting
- Wolfsburg have scored in four games in a row
- The hosts have kept a clean sheet in two of their last three home games
Estimated line-up: Grabara – Fischer, Vavro, Koulierakis, Mele – Arnold, Dardai – Baku, Wimmer, Amura – Tomas.
Current form
Hoffenheim also have problems with their starting lineup and, unlike their upcoming opponent, are not playing perfectly - losing in their last two games. First there was a fiasco in the European Cups against Braga (0:3), and then in the Bundesliga against Mainz (0:2).
In the last round of the German Cup, Hoffenheim had a hard time beating Nuremberg 2-1, although the club was the clear favorite in that match. Until the last minute, it was unclear whether the match would go into overtime, but everything worked out, and now the team will fight for a place in the quarterfinals of the tournament.
Disqualifications and injuries
Bebu, Becker, Bülter, Grillitsch, Kabak, Lenz and Promel are in the infirmary.
Interesting trends for betting
- Hoffenheim have failed to win in nine away games in a row
- Hoffenheim have suffered their last three defeats without scoring
Probable line-up: Baumann – Kaderabek, Chaves, Nsoki, Prass – Bischof, Stach – Glozek, Kramaric, Bruun Larsen – Tabakovic.

1.61Tip and bets
At the moment, Wolfsburg looks preferable to Hoffenheim. The Wolves have won three of three matches and have not lost in six games. At the same time, the visitors have lost two matches in a row in two tournaments, and in general, have won only one victory in the last six matches. Based on these indicators, we will bet on the hosts to achieve victory in the upcoming meeting.
Our prediction is a Wolfsburg victory with odds of 1.93
Bet on total
Wolfsburg demonstrates an active game in attack, but also gives the opponents a chance to show themselves. In three of the last four matches, the teams have exchanged goals. Hoffenheim have not been able to score in five games in a row on the road. This must be interrupted at some point, and, as we believe, this will happen in the upcoming match. Moreover, in the last 12 head-to-head encounters, the teams have exchanged goals.
Second bet - both teams to score with odds of 1.55
Bet on corners
Judging by the way the teams play each other, the game shouldn't be boring. Which means there a high probability that the two opponents will score a decent number of corners.
Our prediction is total over 8.5 corners with odds of 1.66
