Erzgebirge left the German Third League last season. The team has been greatly updated during the off-season. This was done in order to return to the Third League as quickly as possible. The hosts played friendly matches well. In five matches played, there was only one defeat, and that was from the powerful Schalke 04 with a score of 2:4.
Hoffenheim had a solid last season and finished fifth in the Bundesliga. A crushing defeat in the final round did not allow the club to qualify for the Champions League stage. The team played friendly matches with varying success. Having won the first five games, Christian Ilzner's team relaxed and were not satisfied with the triumph in the final three matches — two defeats and a draw.
Erzgebirge played well in friendly matches, but an official match is completely different, especially against a team that finished in the top 5 of the Bundesliga last season. The guests have a stronger selection of players and friendly matches were played against teams that are significantly higher in the game class of the upcoming opponent. That is why we come to the conclusion that Hoffenheim will have no problems and will calmly win the meeting.
