LiontipsHoffenheim vs Eintracht. Prediction (odds 2.20) and bets on the Bundesliga match
Command Analysis
Current form
Hoffenheim changed coaches during the season, but there was no breakthrough under Christian Ilzer. Only in the last round did they manage to win for the first time in a long time. However, their opponents were also outsiders Holstein - 3:1 away. Then there was a key match in the Europa League against Tottenham, where they were unable to cope with the powerful attack of the Londoners. The defeat with a score of 2:3 left the villagers outside the second most important European club tournament. The game of the final round against Anderlecht away is of no particular importance, now they need to concentrate on the fight to stay in the Bundesliga, where Hoffenheim is in 15th place and only three points ahead of the play-off zone.

Kabak, Samassekou, Promel, Tohumdzhu, Bulter and Bebou will miss the game due to injuries.

Current form
Eintracht parted ways with their attacking leader Marmus, who went on to be promoted to Manchester City. There were fears that the Eagles would slow down noticeably without the Egyptian immediately after his departure. However, this did not happen. The team continued to win and right now, after the Christmas break, is on a series of four victories in a row in all tournaments, and there are no problems in the attack - they have always scored at least two goals in the three previous matches. During the week, Dino Topmöller charges won Ferencvaros in the Europa League (2:0) and are approaching the final round in second place in the table. In the Bundesliga, Eintracht is firmly holding onto the third line with a gap of four points from their closest pursuers. In the previous game of the championship, they managed to beat Borussia Dortmund on their home field (2:0).

9.20Tip and bets
We don't think we should expect any sensation in this match. Eintracht is now stronger than their opponent in all respects, as evidenced by a series of four victories in a row. Both teams played matches in the Europa League this week, and the hosts have much more losses in their squad, which makes rotation difficult. The Eagles beat the villagers in the last three face-to-face matches, and we expect them to win this time too.
Our betting tip is Eintracht victory at odds of 2.20
Bet on total
Hoffenheim and Eintracht regularly delight with an abundance of goals scored in their head-to-head encounters. The bet on a total of over 2.5 goals played in ten previous head-to-head encounters, and we don’t think this streak will be broken today.
The second bet is total over 2.5 goals with odds of 1.68
Bet on corners
It is worth noting that Hoffenheim have not taken more than four corners in 10 of their previous 13 home Bundesliga meetings. Accordingly, we recommend another option for a reliable bet.
Prediction - Hoffenheim corners total under 4.5 with odds of 2.25
