Command Analysis
Hoffenheim
GermanyCurrent form
Hoffenheim finished their Europa League campaign by beating Anderlecht 4-3 on the road in the final round. However, this victory still did not allow the team to qualify for the playoffs. Now Christian Ilzer's team can completely switch to the Bundesliga, where things are not going well. In 20 rounds played, the "villagers" scored only 18 points, with which they are on the 15th line and three points behind their current opponent. In the last round, Hoffenheim could not do anything against Bayer Leverkusen on the road - a 1:3 defeat. Note that in the last five rounds in the championship they managed to win only one victory over the outsider Holstein (3:1). In many ways, the reasons for the failures are related to large losses in the squad. It should be noted that the club has leased defender Estigor from Rennes, who may well enter the field today.
Disqualifications and injuries
The club's infirmary houses Baumann, Kabak, Gendre, Samasseku, Promel, Tohumju, Bebu and Tabakovich. Kramaric's entry into the field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- Hoffenheim have been the first to miss nine of their last ten Bundesliga matches.
- In 12 of Hoffenheim's 14 previous league matches, there was an exchange of goals scored.
Approximate composition: L.Philippe – Kaderabek, Estigor, Akpoguma, Prass – Stach, Becker – Bischof, Glazhek, Bulter – Orban.
Union Berlin
GermanyCurrent form
Union scored four points in the last three rounds, which can be considered a serious success given the numerous failures. The Iron Ones defeated Mainz (2:1) in this segment and parted in peace with Leipzig (0:0). The defeat was against St. Pauli on the road with a score of 0:3. Nevertheless, there is still little success in attack, since the beginning of the season the Berliners have scored only 16 goals - the worst figure in the Bundesliga. Striker Ljubicic from LASK was signed as an offensive reinforcement. So far, Steffen Baumgart's team is in 14th place in the table with a nine-point gap from the direct relegation zone.
Disqualifications and injuries
Ilic will not play today due to injury. The entry of Vogt and Kemlein into the field is questionable.

- On the road, Union lost six matches in a row in the Bundesliga.
Approximate line–up: Rennov – Juranovic, Duki, Leite, Skov – Benes, Khedira, Haberer - Skark, Ljubicic, Hollerbach.

16.00Tip and bets
Both teams rarely please their fans, but at the same time, Union is frankly weak in attack, goals are very difficult for Berliners. Hoffenheim are playing boldly on their own field, from a position of strength, especially now there is no need to think about European competitions, even taking into account decent personnel losses, the "village" houses are able to take three points due to the attack. Moreover, Union lost six matches in a row in the Bundesliga on the road.
Our forecast is that Hoffenheim will win by a factor of 2.27
