LiontipsHoffenheim - Cologne: betting tip (cf 3.40) and bets on the Bundesliga match
Command Analysis
Current form
Hoffenheim scored seven points in five rounds played, with which they are in tenth place in the table. The result is quite expected, given the potential of the squad, the main thing is that we managed to avoid failure at the start. Blue and white are not stable, alternating between different results. It is characteristic that they scored two league wins on the road, beating Bayer and Union with a score of 2:1 and 4:2, respectively. Moreover, they also managed to take away points from Freiburg in the last round (1:1).
Thus, Christian Ilzer's team scored all their seven points on the road. They have never pleased their fans at home. This is not a big surprise, since we had to play on our own field with Eintracht (1:3) and Bayern (1:4).
Hoffenheim is known for its bold football, Ilzer relies on constant pressure. Such a game is effective only when the players are well prepared physically. Overall, it's not bad. The last match against Freiburg is significant. In that meeting, Hoffenheim conceded an early goal, quickly recovered and subsequently completely dominated the field, scored 15 shots on goal, and the realization failed.

Behrens, Matida, Fris, Jendrej and Gložek will not play due to injuries. Geiger and Berisha will be absent by coach's decision.

Current form
Cologne was seriously preparing to return to the Bundesliga this time, strengthened the squad as much as possible, and preserved the backbone. During the transfer campaign, the management relied on experienced players who played in the main football division of the country. Clearly, the goats can record the interim results of their performances as an asset. They have seven points after five rounds and seventh place in the table.
Lukas Kvasnek's team scored all their seven points in the opening three rounds. Obviously, the team will not be able to keep up such a pace, and the two defeats in the last rounds did not cause much surprise. Cologne lost 1-3 to Leipzig on the road and lost 1-2 to Stuttgart at home.
The bold attacking game of the goats deserves special attention. Even in lost matches, they scored goals, and they are not afraid to play number one, regardless of who their opponents are. It is no coincidence that at least three goals have been scored in the last four matches with Cologne. Only in their first match in the Bundesliga did the team fail to demonstrate an effective game, when they defeated Mainz 1-0 on the road.

Cologne's injured list includes van den Berg and Kilian. The alter is still in question.

1.98Tip and bets
We have two teams in front of us who rely on attack in their game and are not afraid to go forward with great strength, regardless of who their opponents are. Hoffenheim has already managed to hit someone else's goal nine times in five rounds, but at the same time he missed 11 times. At least three goals have been scored in the last four Bundesliga matches against Cologne. It is unlikely that any of these opponents will change their usual tactics today, which means that we are very likely to see an abundance of goals scored.
Our betting tip is a total of more than three goals for a coefficient of 1.85
Betting on the outcome
Hoffenheim has been playing poorly at home for several seasons now: they have not won in 12 of the last 13 matches on their own field. Obviously, with such statistics, it is risky to bet on the victory of the hosts today. Moreover, Cologne confidently entered the season, losing only to superior rivals in class, Leipzig and Stuttgart, and imposed a struggle on both. We expect the guests to score at least one point this time.
The second bet is that Cologne will not lose with a coefficient of 1.92
Combined bid
Given our expectations, it would be logical to play the option of a combined bet with a high chance that the guests will not lose and at least three goals will be scored in the match. It is characteristic that events developed according to this scenario in the last four home matches of Hoffenheim, and in all games there were defeats.
The betting tip is that Cologne will not lose and the total is more than 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 3.40
